France faces a week of student movements and expected protests

France is entering a new week of student protests, with a number of schools across the country continuing to close on Monday, while Tuesday is expected to see demonstrations pressuring the government to respond quickly to their demands. The prime minister promised on Sunday that the 2027 budget would include more resources for schools, while Macron demanded to act "calmly and regularly, and in a framework of respect for both people and property." The authorities are seeking to end the student protest, especially after activists issued calls for demonstrations next Saturday to protest living conditions.
