What role did the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party play in the student protests?
French intelligence services characterized the blockade and rioting as a maneuver organized by LFI and its ultra-left proxies. LFI lawmaker Louis Boyard, who was led by presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, attended the initial protest in Créteil and called for it to spread. The party has also been linked to activist groups like the Anti-Fascist Young Guard, which was dissolved by the government in June 2025.
