Student protests are ongoing in France, drawing attention to recent actions by French police involving the confiscation of protest signs. Reports are emerging questioning the legality of these seizures, with some characterizing them as intimidation tactics. The protests have also seen the rise of distinctive slogans, one being “Bismillah, c'est les ténèbres,” gaining traction among demonstrators. Another slogan has reportedly angered French President Emmanuel Macron, according to reporting from Le Parisien newspaper. The situation highlights growing tensions between students, law enforcement, and the French government. The origin and intent behind these protest expressions are now subjects of wider public discussion within France.
