Marine Le Pen on "Twitter" 12/4/2018

Meanwhile the National High School Union in France announced today:
"The moratorium will not be enough, we demand real educational measures"
The union called on students to mobilize for blockades and occupations on December 11th, but in a number of locations across France, schools were being shut down this morning.
