The University of Nantes has suffered substantial damage, sparking criticism of the city's ruling political group, led by Mayor Johanna Rolland. François de Rugy, a former president of the National Assembly and former Minister of Ecology, now vice-president of the Regional Council of Pays de la Loire, and Jean-François Achilli are currently discussing the situation. De Rugy has expressed strong disapproval of the damage at the University of Nantes, particularly after a fire at the Nelson Mandela High School, where buildings were destroyed and vandalized. The university's president, Karine Bernot, has described these actions as illegal and violent, expressing shock at the level of destruction. During the incident at the Nelson Mandela High School, far-left activists occupied the premises and were reportedly preparing to throw paving stones, with evidence of such materials found on site. The mayor of Nantes, Johanna Rolland, has been accused of failing to act decisively in response to these violent and militant actions. In recent years, political, trade union, and activist groups on the far-left have been gaining increasing influence in the city. A protest against an administrative detention center also took place in Nantes, and initially, Johanna Rolland supported the project. The damage caused by these violent and illegal actions has resulted in French citizens having to cover the costs of repairs. The Nelson Mandela High School was seriously damaged and will require extensive and costly work to restore it to its original condition. The region is responsible for the construction, renovation, and maintenance of high schools, which regularly invest in these infrastructures. The University of Nantes now faces the risk of becoming insolvent due to the damage caused by these incidents. François de Rugy has expressed pessimism about the future of the left-wing primary and has criticized the Socialist Party for its decline. The situation at the University of Nantes has raised concerns about the impact of political and social unrest on public institutions, highlighting the growing tensions in the region.
