The Kremlin commented on the schoolchildren's protests that flared up in France

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov commented on the mass protests of French schoolchildren. He called them an internal affair of France, but noted that the rioters were bad schoolchildren, RIA Novosti reports.

“This is an internal affair of France, we have our own schoolchildren, and our soul aches for them... Of course, schoolchildren who burn their schools, garbage cans, cars, attack police officers, these are bad schoolchildren,” Peskov told reporters, answering a corresponding question.

Protesting French schoolchildren took to the main streets of Paris, after which a series of riots and arrests began. At first the action was peaceful, but then the participants began to organize pogroms. Young people's dissatisfaction is caused by a shortage of teachers and the condition of school buildings due to insufficient funding.
