Vandaag namen duizenden studenten, leerkrachten en ouders in Frankrijk deel aan een grote demonstratie tegen onderbezette en verwaarloosde klaslokalen. De politie gebruikte traangas om de betogers te verdrijven die Franse middelbare scholen blokkeerden. In Parijs was de demonstratie tot nu toe vreedzaam.
Police fired tear gas at protesters blockading French high schools on Tuesday as students, teachers and parents took to the streets on the biggest day of action in a wave of demonstrations against understaffed and dilapidated classrooms. Reporting from a march in Paris, France 24's Claire Paccalin says that the demonstration there has been peaceful so far, though the atmosphere is "tense" with a "heavy police presence".
