Protesters plays music as they take part in a demonstration as part of a national day of strike and mobilization in education in Toulouse, southeastern France on November 10, 2026. The high school student movement that began with youth protesting dismal learning conditions has coincided with widespread anger over the rising cost of living and inequality, which culminated on October 17, 2026 in the worst rioting France has seen in years.
