"International Student Movement"

Protests and demonstrations against the government proposal of raising the age for a minimum pension from 60 to 62 have been going on for weeks. While the mainstream media abroad report only marginally about the strike, alternative media platforms give us a quite different picture of the formation of the protests.
Workers, non-workers, pupils and students alike have taken to the streets, organise assemblies and plan further actions. What is most revelant to the "International Student Movement", is that students have shown their solidarity to the striking workers and have taken a share in the mobilisation.
At the end of the last week, about 40% of the universities were on strike (37 out of 83).
Interfaculty assemblies have been held nationwide and a national assembly of students (Coordination Nationale Étudiante) took place on the 23rd and 24th of October.
The student coordination calls to take part in further protests on October 28th and the 6th of November.

Whereas the cause for the strike is initially the pension reform, the scope of the mobilisation suggests that it is a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the government.
Workers in the refinery sector have called for solidary actions in the neighbouring countries. What about the students?
It seems that the "Global Wave of Action for Education" as a solidary movement has so far not been an issue among the students.
The students in France being mobilised, it now makes more sense than ever to spread awareness of the "International Student Movement" and hopefully make the "Global Wave of Action" that what it was meant to be: an immense solidary movement.
One World, One Struggle!
