Student unions, teacher groups hold renewed demonstrations

Protests in France have continued for more than three weeks, with no sign of abating. More than 160 thousand people turned out on Tuesday according to official figures – 90 thousand more than at similar rallies held last week. In some places, police fired tear gas at student demonstrators, who are calling for better learning conditions and resources. Last week Emmanuel Macron’s government announced a consultation period and an online platform for young people to raise their concerns. But protesters say that’s not enough. TRT World’s Victoria Innes has more.
