French authorities have recorded 5,060 gardes à vue, or police detentions, since the start of violence connected to lycée blockades, according to ladepeche.fr. The outlet reports that 14 people have been placed in detention, or écrouées, in the same period.
The figures were published Monday as part of live coverage of the school blockades, with 20 Minutes also reporting that more than 5,000 detentions have been recorded since the demonstrations began.
Separately, the prefect of Hauts-de-Seine summoned parents after clashes outside lycées, leparisien.fr reports. According to that outlet, the prefect told parents, "You are responsible for your children." Le HuffPost reported that the prefect's meeting with parents of lycéens was described by left-wing figures as a "pitoyable" piece of staging, or a pathetic spectacle.
Le Monde.fr reports that the government is moving up the timetable for a proposed "casseurs-payeurs" law, which would make those found responsible for damage pay for it. The bill's advancement comes amid the unrest.
The reporting so far centers on detention totals, the Hauts-de-Seine prefect's meeting with parents, and the accelerated legislative schedule. No full article text was available, so further details on individual cases, charges or the scope of the violence have not been confirmed by the cited outlets.
What to watch next: whether the "casseurs-payeurs" bill moves through the legislative process on the faster schedule Le Monde.fr describes, and whether detention figures continue to rise as blockades persist.
