Forbach: New tensions at Blaise-Pascal high school after trash fires

A group of about thirty young people, some from other schools, caused new tensions outside the Blaise-Pascal high school in Forbach on Monday, October 5, burning trash bins and shouting in the street, far from student demands. A national day of mobilization is expected Tuesday. Police began checking students' bags at 7:30 a.m. after the prefect banned aerosols, flammable products, and pyrotechnic items amid a week of student protests. The situation quickly escalated as masked youths, the same group that caused trouble last Friday, threw paving stones and insulted officers. The article is partially behind a paywall, but it notes these actions occurred on rue Félix-Barth and that the unrest has been ongoing for a week, with authorities responding through the prefectural ban.
