At least 250,000 demonstrators in France marched through Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Rennes, Toulouse and other cities, mainly to protest against a lack of investment in education. The protests, led by school pupils but joined by parents, teachers and unions as well as elements of the populist-left, have been building since mid-September, and are often accompanied by arson and vandalism. The police have responded with tear-gas and baton charges. Sébastien Lecornu, the prime minister, accused the populist-left of fuelling the violence. The protesters’ calls for more public investment come amid efforts by the government to control the budget deficit, and as bond markets punish France for its fiscal irresponsibility.
