“The firmness is and will remain total,” supports Matignon. The police intervened at the end of the morning to evacuate the campuses of Sciences Po Paris and Lyon, occupied by students who were mobilizing in favor of the Palestinian people.
“Regarding the situation in the establishments, some could be resolved through dialogue,” indicates a government source. For others, requisitions by university presidents were made and the police intervened immediately.” This is the case in Lyon, where the operation took place peacefully.
Twenty-three sites evacuated
In Saint-Etienne, the police also intervened for the third time since the start of the week. Around fifteen students blocked access to a university site. Since Thursday, 23 “disturbed” sites have been evacuated, according to Matignon. The mobilization continues on other campuses in France.
