Original Post
Fact
The video in this post is not from the ongoing student protests in France. It is from the 2025 “Festival of Music,” a music celebration held across France every June.
Analysis
The student protests, which were motivated by poor educational conditions, including teacher shortages and overcrowded classrooms, began in a suburb outside of Paris on September 17, 2026, before growing into nationwide protests. Many viral misleading posts have falsely linked the protests to Islam and migration.
