Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez is scheduled to meet with student representatives tomorrow amidst ongoing criticism regarding policing tactics during recent demonstrations. Meanwhile, the Lyon prefecture has authorized a protest against the cost of living for this coming Saturday, following the ban of a similar event last week.
Laurent Nuñez maintains that the police response has been proportionate. The announced mobilizations are being led by high school and university students.
