Ten years ago, the struggle for an ambitious transition was on everyone's mind. It feels like the enthusiasm has faded. I believe that Covid changed everything. It was often said that this period was one of brotherhood and solidarity; I think it was mainly one of selfishness and retreat into our individual problems. Since then, people are concerned about remote work and leisure, but no one thinks about the climate anymore. The same applies to public authorities: which ones still care? Who sits around a table to think about the medium term? Take the renovation of buildings by municipalities: this policy has disappeared. #Climat #Bruxelles #Manifestation (translated)

Philémon Jouglet Marcus, invited on BFM then. High school student at Henri-IV, federal representative of the Union of High School Students, and now the official face of France that can no longer afford to learn. We see him on BFM, banner at the bottom: "We want dignified learning conditions." Dignified. At Henri-IV, Rue Clovis, where the main social risk is failing the khâgne oral exam because the local café has changed its roasting. Philémon didn’t come to talk about a high school without a math teacher since September. He came to speak from one of the most selective high schools in the country, the one that prepares Normaliens and polytechnicians between two smoke breaks in front of the Panthéon. His demands: more teachers, the end of Parcoursup, ecological renovation. The translation from the Latin Quarter: the CDI could be larger, the selection is annoying, and the windows deserve double glazing worthy of a mansion. The champion is not the movement. The champion is him. Managing to portray Henri-IV as a suffering high school, microphone poised, serious look, while the banner rolls. Philémon Jouglet Marcus, spokesperson for educational indignity, Latin-Greek version with honors. You don’t make this up.🤭🤣 #Éducation #Lycée #ConditionsDApprentissage (translated)

Madam @vpecresse, You announce that you want to send the residents of https://t.co/NgzQcjii4v.s and pierrefittois.e.s a bill of 100,000 €. The Paul-Éluard high school is under the authority of the Region. Its maintenance, security, and the conditions for receiving students are your responsibility, not that of the City. Will you send a bill to every municipality where the youth is mobilizing? I have spent several mornings engaging in dialogue with the young people, parents, teachers, and the forces present to avoid escalation. Supporting the demands of high school students does not mean encouraging vandalism or calling for violence. You announce in your tweet 45 million euros for renovation, which is good. But why did you reduce the funding of half of the public high schools in Île-de-France, last Wednesday? The funding for Paul-Éluard has decreased for the second consecutive year. In January, you increased the funding for private high schools by 4 million. The taxpayers of Île-de-France also have some bills to send you: – 1.487 million euros for Stanislas, between illegal gifts and external fees, an institution implicated for its excesses; – 900,000 € in gifts made to Stérin, the far-right activist; – 25 million euros to compensate for the insufficient funding of public high schools, fundable by recovering the 13 million annual payments made to private high schools without any legal obligation; – 143 million euros to restore the budget cut from vocational training; – and an invaluable bill for all the lives disrupted by malfunctioning transportation. 100,000 € claimed from Saint-Denis. Millions given to the private sector and your friends. There are your priorities. So rather than a bill, come and actually discuss with the young people, and give them what they are asking for: a safe and healthy work site, sufficient staff, and adequate funding. #Education #ÎleDeFrance #Responsabilité (translated)
