French education unions call new strike for Tuesday

Unions in France's education and higher education sectors have called for a new strike on Tuesday, November 10, amid ongoing social unrest. The move comes as the fourth consecutive Saturday of national protests takes place, with 70,000 police deployed. The intersyndicale criticized the Prime Minister's planned social conference on salaries for Monday, November 9, saying it appears to exclude the public sector, calling this "a new provocation" if confirmed. They are urging a day of action for youth, education staff, and researchers. Authorities expect 40,000 to 60,000 protesters in Paris on Saturday, with security measures including bans on demonstrations in city centers. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez cited online calls for violence and looting, warning that "if there are vandals and looters, we will await them."
