France’s young people are angry, and their protests are getting increasingly violent. But what’s driving them onto the streets? Students are describing overcrowded classrooms, missing teachers and schools struggling to cope. Now, as France faces pressure to cut public spending, they fear they’ll be asked to do more with less. And the protests are becoming a political battleground, with the government and opposition blaming each other for the violence and what it says about France’s future.
