While taking note of the arrival of Gérald Darmanin, the unions “want to participate, alongside the collective, in negotiations to get out of the current situation“.
“Partial blockages”
In high schools, the mobilization does not weaken.

“We decided to maintain the blockade to continue to put pressure on the stateexplains Clemente Geronimi, a Terminale student at the Giocante high school in Bastia. We should think more about our studies, but we, in the group that organized this blockage, we all have the same opinion: we don’t want to live, study and work in a society that we don’t like.”

Among the teachers present this morning in front of the Giocante high school in Casabianca, some felt that these students did not “should not sacrifice their future and that of others for ideas“.
“You have to understand that there are those who want to work, go to school and can’t, highlighted Christophe Zuccarelli, professor of Mathematics at the Bastia institution. There are parents who are starting to get bored. In the morning, there are tensions at the entrance to the school. Blocking school can be a one-time thing, but if it’s long term, it won’t benefit anyone. Especially since there are specialty tests coming up soon and also the problem of Parcoursup for the students.”
