France is witnessing a wave of unprecedented student protests, with at least 480,000 high school students taking to the streets amid growing discontent over poor school conditions. Activist Greta Thunberg has lent her support, joining students in Paris who are demanding systemic reforms. Tensions have escalated, leading to violent clashes with riot police, who have used tear gas to disperse protesters. With thousands rallying nationwide, the unrest echoes similar demonstrations from 1968, revealing a broader social crisis in Europe. As the protests continue into their fourth consecutive week, questions arise about the potential for these movements to spark a wider change in France and beyond.
