Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire, a member of the socialist party, announced on LinkedIn that city hall buildings in various districts would be opened to high school students for gathering, debating, and organizing democratically. This decision follows a wave of student protests across the city, and Grégoire is urging the government and the police prefecture to focus on de-escalation during demonstrations. He emphasized that nine of the 17 district city halls, managed by left-wing officials, would open their doors in the coming days to provide students with safe spaces for discussion and organization. In an open letter to high school students, which was shared with the news agency AFP, Grégoire expressed concern over the lack of formal organization within the youth movement. He noted that schools and other gathering places are being closed, limiting students' access to public spaces. Grégoire called on the government and police to prioritize dialogue, prevention, and de-escalation, especially given the presence of minors in the demonstrations. He also highlighted the need for the state to address issues such as the shortage of teachers, un-replaced absences, and the lack of educational, medical-social, and orientation staff in schools. Grégoire directed his remarks to Valérie Pécresse, the head of the Île-de-France region, asking her to clarify the investments made in Parisian schools since her arrival in 2015, particularly regarding renovations to make classrooms more suitable for high temperatures. In response, Pécresse stated that 6.6 billion euros have been invested in renovating high schools across the Île-de-France region since 2015. This figure includes improvements aimed at addressing various infrastructure needs, including climate adaptation measures.
