Social unrest erupted across hundreds of French high schools and dozens of universities Thursday, forcing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to convene an emergency meeting to address the "urban violence."
Corporate media describes the rioters as "French students" or "high school students," while alternative media outlets such as Remix News and Visegrád24 claim the rioters are migrant kids.
"What began as protests demanding better conditions for students and teachers has devolved into violence at dozens of locations, concentrated at schools with large immigrant populations," Remix wrote in a report earlier.
Visegrád 24 wrote on X, "Young second and third-generation migrants have attacked firemen in Marseille, stealing their fire truck and setting it on fire."
"Migrant student youths have set fire to multiple buses and even fire trucks in the French city of Marseille as chaos spreads," Visegrád 24 wrote on X.
Remix continued:
Migrant student youths have set fire to multiple buses and even fire trucks in the French city of Marseille as chaos spreads.
The Marseille transport authority, RTM, said several of its buses "were targeted near high schools in the north and east of Marseille," that "drivers had to leave their vehicles in a hurry and one of them was assaulted."
The regional Marseille government said an "unacceptable line" had been crossed at Victor Hugo High School, where "the principal, the deputy principal, the general secretary and the team leader were assaulted and doused with gasoline," according to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, cited by BFMTV.
France is descending into chaos as student blockades grip the country. Over 650 arrests have been made.
