Demonstrations and protests against poor economic and school conditions by workers and lycée (high school) students have taken place in France since September 2026. In early October, the protests developed into a nationwide mobilization involving students, teachers, parents, political organizations, the yellow vests and trade unions, with an estimated 550,000–800,000 people participating nationwide. Labour movements emerged in mid-September in reaction to the cost-of-living, housing and fuel crisis caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab Strait, spearheaded by a newly revived yellow vests movement. Causes also included high inflation, economic stagnation, social inequality and unemployment, coupled with austerity measures and social spending cuts. Soon after, teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, run-down buildings, and limited public investment in social programs and infrastructure sparked immense students protests nationwide. Students noted stress linked to the university application website Parcoursup and high temperatures in classrooms that reached up to 40 °C (104 °F) during the 2026 European heatwaves. Despite forming separately, the protest movements joined on 17 October, along with other unrelated movements. These demonstrations are considered to be part of a wider European unrest which includes protests in Belgium, Albania, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Serbia and Germany. The initial police response used a variety of forceful crowd-control weapons, resulting in serious injuries, including to children. Violent conflict between police and protestors have led to 6,800 arrests, most of them of minors. The French government has accused the far-left of stirring up the unrest for political gain. Protester leaders have argued the movement is a spontaneous showing of economic grievance. The police response drew criticism from human rights organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the UN Human Rights Office. The government rejected accusations of police repression, with Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez maintaining that the response had been proportionate in almost all cases and that some protests had turned into riots.
