The protests also spread to Belgium

A similar student movement started in the city of Liege in the Walloon region of Belgium, following the ongoing high school protests in France.

High school students gathered in front of many schools in the city this morning, causing disruption of education due to protests. Students gathered in front of many schools such as Athenee de Fragnee, Athenee Royal de Montegnee, Institut Maria Goretti, College Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Laurent and Saint-Sepulcre and blocked the entrances. A fire was lit in front of the high school called Institut Marie-Therese. Following the developments, police teams were intensively deployed to the region.

In the information provided by the security forces on the subject, it was stated that various objects such as fireworks, eggs, apples and barriers were thrown at the police in front of some schools and at the surrounding points, and a lot of material damage occurred during the incidents. It was reported that the police intervened with the demonstrators.

It was reported that hundreds of high school students were on the streets this morning in Montegnee, where students of Italian, Turkish and Moroccan origin are concentrated. Liege police have increased security measures, especially around Esplanade Saint-Leonard.

Belgian state television RTBF reported that the protests were organized entirely by students and that teachers and unions were not involved in the protests.

It was stated that the students aimed to announce their demands through protests. These demands include less crowded classes, a sufficient number of teachers, more consideration of the opinions of students and families, an accessible education for everyone, and making decisions for the future.
