What began as blockades over teacher shortages has spread nationwide, with schools set on fire, principals assaulted, and transit halted in Marseille.
High school gates were closed in Saint-Denis, a northern Parisian suburb, at 7:30 a.m. Two hours later, a protest formed nearby with young people from Paris 8 University gathering before marching towards the center of Saint-Denis. The protest included students, older individuals, Antifa activists, women in headscarves, and protesters of North African or sub-Saharan African descent.
