Paris protesters unite across ages against cost of living and school conditions
The segment reports from a Paris street protest uniting public sector workers, students, and older generations against rising living costs, underfunded schools and hospitals, and uncertain futures. Interviews highlight student stress over university placement via Parcoursup, a young activist's call for better education and jobs, and a parent's participation for the next generation. Signs reference dreams, poverty, and opposition to financing genocide. Reporter Natacha Butler notes Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's plan for a social conference with unions and business leaders, consideration of a slight minimum wage increase, and the government's view that protest numbers are falling. Protesters counter that the movement continues. The piece relies on on-the-ground interviews, visuals of diverse crowds, and official government statements.
