Undeterred by government repression, France's schoolchildren march again today, Tuesday 13th Oct, while students in Italy, Germany and Belgium have also begun protesting. Here, the movement explained through the signs school students, parents and teachers are carrying on the streets of Paris.
Thousands are marching today for France's democracy, against the largest government crackdown on protest since May '68, with 5000 schoolchildren arrested and France's government turning explosives onto children: a schoolboy's hand was ripped off after an officer fired a grenade on Monday.
France's government is turning military-grade weaponry on its own schoolchildren, and arresting teenagers as young as 13. Students protesting for their education rights have become the new frontline for the movement to defend France's democracy itself.
France’s public sector is on national strike Tuesday against the €54 billion cuts in public services in the government’s draft 2027 budget, with students blocking schools across the country facing police violence.

After a summer when climate breakdown became a lived reality in France, with climate fires scorching 100 000 hectares and even two hectares of Sark, this autumn French citizens are mobilising for urgent action against Macron's inaction.

Over one weekend, islanders fought a fire in Sark, then Guernsey's La Corbière headland while Jersey was inundated with reports of smoke - it turned out from Port-bail on Normandy's coast. After a summer of climate fires French firefighters are striking for resources to fight them.
