Greta Thunberg joins French student protests over school conditions on October 13, 2026

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg appeared outside Lycée Paul Eluard in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on October 13, 2026, to support French high school students protesting poor school conditions including teacher shortages and overcrowded classrooms. The protest movement, now in its fourth or fifth week, has seen hundreds of schools blockaded, thousands arrested, and clashes between demonstrators and riot police across France. Interior Ministry figures put Tuesday's turnout at 161,500 nationwide, while unions estimated 480,000 participants.
