If you are not following the news in France, they are pretty depressing. Students started blocking their high schools to ask for better studying conditions, which is more than fair considering the state of some of the buildings. Of course, the government refused to open the dialogue and sent police forces instead. A completely disproportionate response that costed some of the students an eye or a forearm. Unsurprisingly, the medias are focusing on the vast minority of disturbances - often caused by outsiders and not students - in an attempt to discredit the movement. France keeps slowly slipping into facism and it’s been disheartening to watch from afar. I’m putting a lot hope into the presidential election in April next year. Hopefully it’s not too late to turn things around.
