In multi-cultural France, mass protests have turned into riots, with demonstrators, many of whom are immigrants and leftists, engaging in vandalism and arson. The situation escalated dramatically at the Vaquelin High School in Paris, where rioters set fire to the school entrance, trapping teachers and students inside. Despite attempts by two individuals to extinguish the flames with fire extinguishers, the fire continued to spread as protestors threw various items to sustain the blaze. Over 100 students had to be evacuated from the school, while protesters also launched fireworks at firefighters. School administrators reported that masked attackers targeted the institution, with one official stating that the perpetrators were not affiliated with the school. Similar incidents have occurred across multiple schools in recent weeks, leading to prolonged closures due to overcrowding, lack of teaching staff, and perceived neglect. Authorities announced new legislation requiring parents of minors involved in vandalism to cover damages, potentially drawing funds from family social assistance.
