Protests by high school students in France are spreading to universities, and after clashes between protesters and police, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has urgently called an inter-ministerial meeting to discuss the situation.

Students have blocked school entrances to demand the replacement of absent teachers, smaller classes and better school conditions. More than 300 educational institutions across France have been involved in protests, from Paris to Marseille. In Nantes, the entrance hall of the Nelson Mandela high school was engulfed in fire. The flames also spread to the building's facade before firefighters were able to extinguish it.

The situation was also dire in Marseille. The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region said that at the Lycée Victor Hugo, the principal, deputy principal, general secretary and head of the maintenance team were attacked and doused with gasoline. According to regional authorities, the arson attempt took place inside the school and caused chaos in front of the institution.

"All staff went inside for protection, while police and firefighters responded to the scene," the regional administration said. School administrators said they would file a complaint. Authorities described the incident as an "unacceptable" overstepping of the protest's boundaries.

On Wednesday alone, 625 people were detained by police, while 83 police officers and gendarmes were injured. Since the blockades began at the beginning of the week, 119 students and school employees have also been injured.

The IGPN, the body that investigates police conduct in France, has opened three investigations into the actions of police officers against young protesters, some of whom were seriously injured. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez has defended the actions of the police, speaking of “proportionality.” However, cases of excessive use of force have also been reported during the protests in France.

On the one hand, the peaceful protesters, who constitute the majority, have been overshadowed by the actions of violent individuals, some of whom are not school students. They have committed arson and damaged school buildings, precisely during protests demanding improved conditions in these institutions.

On the other hand, some police officers have been filmed using force in ways that are under investigation. In some cases they have been seen hitting young people with batons, while in other cases tear gas grenades or rubber bullets have been used at close range, which can cause serious injuries. In Tours, a young man was seriously injured in the head and rushed to hospital after allegedly being hit by a bullet from an LBD gun, used by police to fire rubber bullets.

The situation has become even more complicated due to the involvement of political forces, at a time when France is on the verge of campaigning for next spring's presidential elections.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the France Insoumise party, has accused the government and police of brutally suppressing the protests, especially in the suburbs. He expressed support for the students and called on activists and political representatives of his party to take to the streets to stand between the students and the police.

The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, part of France Insoumise, also took to the streets to express support for the protesters. He sang and danced with them and even defended violent actions in response to police methods, stating that “violent reactions can be legal or understandable in the face of the actions of the forces of order”. For this reason, the prefect referred to it as “incitement to commit criminal acts”.

On the other hand, the right, and in particular presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, have called for the restoration of order and have attacked Mélenchon. According to her, he "bears great responsibility for the situation the country is experiencing today", having gone "to high schools to incite young people", called for "uprisings" and sent his deputies to educational institutions.

The French government, which is currently facing a difficult debate on the budget law and a worsening public finances situation, is concerned that the student protests could spread further. The fear is that they could involve not only universities but also other groups in society, at a time when fuel prices have risen and the purchasing power of the middle and lower income classes is falling.
