Students across France are protesting government cuts to education funding, with demonstrations escalating into violent clashes with police. Hundreds of arrests and dozens of injuries have been reported as protesters blockaded schools and faced off with riot officers in multiple cities.
The claim is well-supported by multiple reputable news outlets (BBC, The Guardian, Reuters, etc.) reporting on the same events, citing official police figures and student union statements. The reporting is close to the primary sources — police prefectures and on-the-ground journalists — making the core facts of clashes, arrests, and injuries highly credible.
