巴黎——9月29日,法国青少年与警方发生了冲突。他们继续封锁部分高中,这一行为引发了政府的愤怒;与此同时,工会计划在全国范围内举行抗议活动,反对政府提出的削减预算的方案。

PARIS – French teenagers clashed with police on Sept 29 as they kept up a blockade of some high schools that has angered the government, with unions planning nationwide protests over a cost-cutting budget.

自上周以来,高中生们一直在学校外抗议,抗议的内容涉及课程安排、班级规模以及教师短缺等问题。一些学生用垃圾桶堵住学校入口,甚至放火烧毁了这些垃圾桶。

High school students have since last week staged protests outside their schools over issues including timetables, class sizes and a shortage of teachers, with some blocking entrances with rubbish bins and setting fire to them.

这场抗议运动最初发生在巴黎周边的伊勒-德-法兰斯(Ile-de-France)地区,据教育部门统计,当天约有10所学校被学生封锁。如今,抗议活动已经蔓延到全国各地的其他城市。

The movement in the lycees, which handle the final years of school in France, started in the Ile-de-France region around Paris, where blockades in some 10 schools were reported by education authorities on Sept 29. It has now spread to other cities nationwide.

在法国北部的里尔市,戴着口罩的学生聚集在“Cesar Baggio高中”外,当时一个垃圾桶正在燃烧,警方使用了催泪瓦斯来驱散抗议者。在法国西部城市南特,学生们用数十个垃圾桶堵住了“Gabriel Guist’hau高中”的入口;在巴黎的“Arago高中”,30名学生与警方发生了对峙。类似的抗议活动也在马赛(南部)、里昂(东南部)等城市发生。

Masked students gathered outside the Lycee Cesar Baggio in Lille, in northern France, as a bin burned, with police using teargas as clashes erupted. Teens piled up dozens of bins to prevent entrance to the Lycee Gabriel Guist’hau in the western city of Nantes, while in Paris there was an uneasy standoff between 30 students and a contingent of police at the Arago school. Similar actions were also reported in Marseille in the south, Lyon in the south-east, and other cities.

在巴黎的“Lamartine高中”,大约80名学生聚集在校外,他们高举标语牌,要求“增加上课时间、减少睡眠时间”,并质问“从早上8点到下午6点,我们到底算是学生,还是被关押的人?”这些抗议活动发生在工会计划举行全国性示威和罢工之际,抗议的对象是总理塞巴斯蒂安·莱科努(Sebastien Lecornu)的预算方案。莱科努是埃马纽埃尔·马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)总统的亲密盟友。

At the Lamartine school in Paris, around 80 students gathered outside brandishing slogans like “more hours of lessons than sleep” and “8am to 6pm, are we pupils or under arrest?”The actions came as unions planned a day of nationwide demonstrations and strikes over the budget of Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron.

预计将有数万人在巴黎及其他城市参加抗议活动;全国范围内的教师和消防人员都将参加罢工,不过公共交通并未受到严重影响。

Tens of thousands were expected to rally in Paris and other cities, with teachers and fire services striking nationwide although with public transport not badly affected.

“民众的愤怒情绪非常强烈,”强硬派工会CGT的负责人索菲·比内(Sophie Binet)在接受BFM电视台采访时说,“我警告政府:必须满足民众的要求,修改那份危险的预算草案,否则国家将会加速陷入经济衰退的深渊。”

“The anger is immense. I warn the government: It must address the demands and revise the draft budget, which is dangerous for the country and is driving us straight into the wall of recession at 200 kilometres an hour,” the head of the hardline CGT union Sophie Binet told BFM TV.

拉马丁学校一名不愿透露姓名的17岁学生表示,资源匮乏、教室过热以及课程安排过于拥挤令他们感到愤怒。

A 17-year-old student at the Lamartine school, who asked not to be named, said they had been angered by a lack of resources, overheated classrooms and overly congested timetables.

“我们也是为了支持我们的老师,与他们的收入相比,他们的工作量简直大得惊人,”她说。

“We are also there to support our teachers who have a crazy amount of work compared to what they earn,” she said.

勒科尔尼在9月28日表示,任何高中示威活动的升级都是“不负责任的”,并抨击极左翼政党“不屈法国”煽动抗议活动。

Lecornu said on Sept 28 any escalation of demonstrations at high schools would be “irresponsible” and lashed out at the hard-left France Unbowed party for encouraging the protests.

内政部长洛朗·努涅斯表示,9月28日共有164人被捕,180所学校受到影响,并补充道:“我们不能容忍过激行为。”法新社

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said 164 arrests took place on Sept 28 and 180 schools were affected, adding: “We cannot tolerate excesses.”AFP
