Anger of high school students: Why will we see white scarves, helmets or armbands in processions?

It is this Tuesday that a new act of mobilization of high school students throughout France will take place. In the meantime, there was quite a bit of trouble. On the blockages side, damage and violence whose echo has somewhat stifled the legitimate demands of high school students. On the law enforcement side, there was also violence, and tragedies which cost demonstrators an eye, teeth and a hand. To avoid others, La France insoumise (LFI) is proposing that the “darons” supervise the demonstrations this Tuesday.

According to Le Parisien, 215 students, 85 educational staff and 715 police officers have been injured since the start of the high school movement. Quite logically, the mobilization this Tuesday will be particularly tense. The idea of ​​LFI is to ensure that the processions go well and smoothly. In Roubaix, for example, the LFI mayor, David Guiraud, suggested to the high school students of his town that the town hall organize the demonstration, going so far as to offer to provide a sound system worthy of the name.

“People like me, the darons and the daronnes”

But more generally, LFI invites “all people like me, the darons and the daronnes, that we also be present,” explained Alexis Corbière, LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis, on BFM last Saturday. At that time, the deputy imagined this presence to “interpose” when the movement threatened to be “recovered or diverted”. And to mark this presence of the “darons”, he relayed the idea of ​​the CGT to wear red chasubles, or that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to wear white helmets.
