Paris student protests escalate: 700 arrested, 100 injured in April crackdown

French authorities arrested over 700 students and injured around 100 during an April 30 eviction of occupied buildings in Paris, part of a broader mobilization that extended beyond classrooms in May. The event is framed as a precursor to a similar student movement in Mexico in October, suggesting a transnational wave of protest. The scale of arrests and injuries indicates a significant state response, but the long-term political impact remains uncertain.
