Paris Youths Call for 'Revolution' as Police Mobilize Against Violence

aftonbladet.se (Swedish) —

Police in Paris have mobilized heavily to curb violence, while young protesters describe the unrest as a "revolution." A 17-year-old named Louay stated, "We speak for all of France." Authorities have imposed a curfew and deployed riot police and helicopters after a weekend of burned cars and looting. Louay said anger stems from government budget cuts to schools, arguing protests are necessary to show the economic situation is not their fault. He defended the violence as "necessary" in a revolution. Another protester, 19-year-old Mathieu Thill, returned to protest high living costs after being tear-gassed. Daniela Sanchez cited anger over money, hospitals, and dignity, warning that more demonstrations are planned for November if the government's response is insufficient.
