Several voluntary fires were committed on Thursday, November 12, at high schools in Montpellier, in the excesses of the ongoing protest movement, the Montpellier Academy reports. In addition to the Mermoz high school, where garbage containers were set on fire in the toilets and under the canopy, the Mendès-France high school was also affected. The national police arrested one person there, who was eventually released. The rector Carole Drucker-Godard denounces these unjustifiable acts of violence, which present a serious risk to the safety of students and teaching staff. She solemnly calls for a return to calm and invites high school students to express themselves within the framework of the dialogue bodies provided for this purpose.
