SAINT-DENIS, France, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Dozens of people have been injured and hundreds arrested, most of them teenagers, officials said, in a wave ‌of French student protests against teacher shortages and dilapidated buildings that on Wednesday spread to more schools across the country.
The demonstrations and blockades, which began last week and coincided on Tuesday with a broader public-sector strike, have become a political flashpoint at a sensitive moment for France, as they spread to 356 high ​schools and turned more violent.

PARIS, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Attackers doused a headteacher in petrol and started fires in ​at least two schools on Thursday, officials said, as increasingly violent student protests raged ‌across France against staff shortages and dilapidated buildings.
Hundreds of young people surrounded a fire truck that had arrived to put out a blaze at Marseille's Saint-Exupery high school in the morning, police said. The attackers forced the firefighters to ​flee the vehicle, then set it alight.


I'm guessing given the lack of coverage in the UK media that these aren't what they would call far right riots.

Housing shortage is causing the demos in Spain. AI says..........

'Spain has a housing crisis because a severe shortage of new construction and low levels of public social housing collide with a massive surge in tourism, short-term rentals, and foreign investment.'

"a massive surge in tourism" - of the uninvited kind Cry

So many jobs rely on tourism in Spain and it contributes about 12% to their GDP, what would they do if holidaymakers went elsewhere ?

Rather amusing that our great leader was pining for the EU this week at the same time as there is massive civil unrest in both Spain and France.

Happening Europe wide, just to different levels and scales. In a nutshell, short thinking housing policies from the 80s onwards, some countries just promoting home ownership over everything else though the evidence was there that affordability was increasing, decade by decade. Throw in the loose credit era, up to 2007 and various state’s relying more and more on PRS to house its populations who couldn’t meet their own housing needs – that came even more unstuck in 2016 with the arrival of Airbnb with the property owners taking back their Lets for their own ever more lucrative short term letting needs. This would have been problematical enough but for the obsession with growth and the demand to see populations increase. We are where we are – and in Spain that’s demonstrations against a Leftish leading government.

I know. Seen enough of them, but as I stated, the issue is now Europe wide, and it is all those factors together. Here in Ireland, while we tore down some newly built stuff after the Celtic Tgier, almost two decades later, some of that stock would have come in more than handy.

I don't know about other countries but here in the UK the main barrier to good housing is the traditional big builders.

There are only interested in building expensive high profit houses.
Report Jumper45 • October 4, 2026 11:21 AM BST
I'll think you'll find most experts and analysts can paint what I've described across Europe including the UK. As for the big builders and high profit housing in upmarket areas, the cost of them buying the land has to be factored in. Another mistake, and again Europe wide, letting land speculators off the hook, the issue of even taxing land speculation has only come to the fore recently.

Pray for the judgement of the Moderator who decided to remove my post from earlier today, when I quite reasonably speculated that the riots in France aren't about the conditions in schools. Or anywhere else.

The notion that the vast majority of participants filmed rioting are frustrated academic scholars is clearly absurd. I'd say a decent percentage never even went to school. Even Professor Arday was a more credible academic than these scruffy herberts and ragamuffins.
