法国当局正在延长宵禁并加强公共场所的警力部署,因为埃马纽埃尔·马克龙总统领导的政府试图在本周早些时候暴徒纵火焚烧建筑、洗劫数千家商铺后重新掌控局势。
但解决过去五周来促使学生和工人走上街头的根源问题,将是一项更为棘手的任务。
抗议者要求改善学校办学条件,并缓解生活成本上涨带来的压力,而法国政府则面临着日益沉重的债务负担和四分五裂的议会,后者甚至使得通过一项预算案都困难重重。

增派警力与延长宵禁
法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努周二承诺,在10月24日计划举行的下一场示威活动前,将“大规模”部署警力。此前法国内政部长洛朗·努涅斯承认,当局低估了这场骚乱的规模,在周六的抗议活动期间部分城市已失去控制。
法国司法部长热拉尔·达尔马宁表示,截至周一晚间,已有超过2500人被警方拘留。此次暴力事件包括法国中部城市利摩日的一座历史性市政厅被纵火焚烧。
巴黎共和国广场和雷阿勒购物区已实施夜间宵禁,里昂和其他城市也出台了类似限制措施。巴黎和里昂周一晚间未发生重大事件,当局因此决定延长相关措施。
在周日的讲话中,马克龙将为改善学校和工作条件发起的和平抗议,与他所称的劫持了抗议活动的暴徒区分开来。他表示,政府既会倾听抗议者的诉求,也会惩处骚乱分子。他将暴力事件归咎于“激进极左翼团体”和“犯罪分子”,并声称“那些试图颠覆共和国的人将被追究责任”。

政治僵局与财政压力
抗议活动始于9月中旬,当时巴黎郊区的高中生和教师呼吁解决教室过度拥挤、校舍破败和教师短缺等问题。此后,工会和“黄马甲”运动这一法国草根组织也加入进来,发展成为一场反对生活成本高企、公共服务下滑的广泛运动。
法国政府已做出部分让步。10月8日,国民教育部宣布计划向办学压力最大的高中部署3000多名代课教师,并批准额外招聘数百名教师。
但日益严峻的财政压力和政治僵局使得推进更全面的改革难上加难。法国国家统计局数据显示,截至6月底,法国公共债务接近3.6万亿欧元,相当于其年度经济产出的119%。
法国政府预计今年的财政赤字将达到经济产出的5.4%,并正努力在2027年将赤字率降至5%。仅债务利息支出明年预计将增加120亿欧元,达到912亿欧元,进一步压缩了可用于公共服务的资金。
马克龙所在的政党在法国议会中也未占据多数席位。今年的预算案直到2月份才获得通过,此前政府绕过了最终投票,该预算案在两场不信任投票中均得以保留。
10月7日至8日开展的益普索民调显示,马克龙的支持率仅为15%。9月份的益普索民调显示,极右翼国民联盟党领导人玛丽娜·勒庞在各首轮对决中均遥遥领先,支持率达到33%至35%。前总理爱德华·菲利普和极左翼不屈法国党领袖让-吕克·梅朗雄等人紧随其后,位居第二梯队。
明年4月,法国将举行总统选举,选出马克龙的继任者,马克龙无法竞选第三个任期。
French government extends curfews after riots sweep across the country

French authorities are extending curfews and increasing the police presence in public spaces as President Emmanuel Macron’s government tries to regain control after rioters torched buildings and looted thousands of businesses this weekend.
But addressing the problems that have brought students and workers to the streets for the last five weeks will be a tougher proposition.
Protesters are demanding better schools and relief from rising living costs, while the government faces mounting debt and a fractured parliament that makes even passing a budget difficult.

More police and curfews
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu promised a “massive” police deployment Tuesday ahead of the next demonstrations scheduled for Oct. 24. The announcement followed Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s acknowledgment that authorities had underestimated the unrest and lost control in some cities during Saturday’s protests.
More than 2,500 people had been taken into police custody by Monday evening, Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said, after violence that included the burning of a historic town hall in Limoges, a city in central France.
Overnight curfews have been imposed around Paris’ Place de la République and Les Halles shopping district, with restrictions also introduced in Lyon and other cities. Paris and Lyon reported no major incidents Monday night, and authorities are extending the measures.
In an address Sunday, Macron distinguished between the peaceful protests for better schools and working conditions and the rioters who he said hijacked those protests, saying that the government would both listen to the protesters’ demands and punish rioters. He blamed “radical far-left groups” and “criminals” for the violence and said that “those who sought to bring down the republic will be held accountable.”

Political gridlock and financial pressure
The protests began in mid-September when high school students and teachers in the suburbs of Paris called for changes to overcrowded classrooms, deteriorating buildings and teacher shortages. They have since drawn in trade unions and Yellow Vest activists, a French grassroots organizing group, becoming a broader movement against high living costs and declining public services.
The government has offered some concessions. On Oct. 8, the Ministry of National Education announced plans to deploy more than 3,000 substitute teachers to high schools most in need, and authorized several hundred additional hires.
But worsening financial pressure and political gridlock make more comprehensive changes more difficult. France’s public debt stood at nearly 3.6 trillion euros at the end of June, equivalent to 119% of its annual economic output, according to the national statistics agency.
The government expects this year’s deficit to reach 5.4% of economic output and is trying to reduce it to 5% in 2027. Interest payments alone are projected to rise by 12 billion euros next year, to 91.2 billion euros, further squeezing the money available for public services.
Macron’s allies also lack a majority in the French parliament. This year’s budget was adopted only in February, after the government pushed it through without a final vote on the bill, which survived two no-confidence motions.
An Ipsos poll conducted Oct. 7-8 put Macron’s approval rating at just 15%. A September Ipsos poll put Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally party, well ahead of the field, with 33% to 35% support in different first-round matchups. Former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left party La France Insoumise, were among those vying for second place.
In April, France will hold presidential elections to choose a successor to Macron, who cannot run for a third term.
