The student protests in France that had turned violent and resulted in the detention of over 400 people have quieted down without a definitive conclusion in the coverage. The protests, which began over school resources, had escalated with hundreds of schools being blockaded and public sector workers staging a strike.

The situation has since subsided without further updates on the outcome or resolution.
