The outcry continues after the occupation on Tuesday of a lecture theater at Sciences-po Paris by pro-Palestinian students, preventing a member of the Union of Jewish Students of France from accessing it.
The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron estimated Wednesday during the Council of Ministers that the comments made were “unspeakable and intolerable”.
“Yes, university establishments are autonomous, but autonomy does not justify the start of separatism,” he adds.
Tuesday morning, around a hundred students occupied the main amphitheater of Sciences-Po as part of a “day of European university mobilization for Palestine”, which blocked the holding of a lecture.
A UEJF student was “prevented from accessing the amphitheater” where the action took place, and “accusatory remarks were made (from the platform, Editor’s note) against” the student association , denounced Sciences-po on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The management “will contact the disciplinary section with a view to sanctioning these intolerable actions,” she adds.
The Minister of Higher Education and Research Sylvie Retailleau visited the site on Tuesday.
