French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has denied any "police repression" in connection with the country's ongoing protest movement, according to a live report from France 24, as classes were suspended at some schools.
The denial came amid what the broadcaster described as a mobilization expected among secondary school students, in what the report characterized as a new phase of the movement's action.
France has seen weeks of protests involving students and schools, part of a broader wave of demonstrations in the country. Suspension of classes has reportedly accompanied some of the protest actions at the school level.
France 24's live coverage did not detail the specific allegations of police conduct that prompted Lecornu's denial, the number of schools affected by suspended classes, or further government response to the protests.
