On the barricades with wheelie bins and shopping trolleys: Paris students rage at politicians and police
Students in Paris have staged large-scale protests, using wheelie bins and shopping trolleys to block streets and confront politicians and police. The demonstrations, which originated in disadvantaged suburban areas, have grown increasingly violent. Authorities are investigating allegations of police misconduct amid reports of clashes and property damage across the capital. The unrest began in low‑income banlieues, where youths expressed frustration over economic inequality.
