Student mobility in France... Does the country live " civil wars " , as you claim accounts?
From student protests that began in French schools, to violent and subversive scenes that have been launched, events have evolved in more than two weeks and have provoked widespread political debate in the country. The protests began against the conditions of education, before they widened and accompanied by acts of violence condemned by the Government. However, some of these scenes appear to have exceeded France and spread to extreme right accounts, from the pro-Donald Trump community to anti-migration currents in Britain. Accounts used to promote a misleading account of alleged " civil war " linked to migration.

Quebec votes as separatist surge poses test for Canada PM
