French Minister Barrot responded to Trump's statement regarding high school protests

Trump said about the high school protests in France on his Truth Social account: "What is happening in France is nothing more than a serious uncontrollable migration. The issue here is not the schools; the issue is rather Islam trying to take control of a once great country." He made a statement.

According to the news of the French BFMTV channel, Barrot responded to Trump's words.

Barrot stated that all of France's opponents and partners are trying to explain the ongoing high school protests in the country in their own opinion.

"If we don't write our own story, others will write it." Barrot said and called for them not to be exposed to the story that others write on their behalf.

Trump needs to be warned

Jean-Luc Melenchon, presidential candidate of the leftist Unyielding France (LFI) Party, also responded to Trump's statement on the social media platform of US-based company X.

Referring to Marine Le Pen, the presidential candidate of the French far-right National Division (RN) Party, Melenchon said, "It is necessary to warn Trump about the unreal story that Ms. Le Pen told him about the cause of the violence in France." he said.

Melenchon noted that uncontrollable police officers in the capital Paris and other cities of the country were seen provoking, attacking and injuring young demonstrators, and stated that unionists participated in the demonstrations to protect young people.
