Is youth crime in France really ‘out of control’?

A French schoolboy died from wounds sustained in a violent assault, as President Emmanuel Macron warned schools should be protected from “uninhibited violence” among some youths.

The 15-year-old teenager was badly beaten near his school in a town south of Paris and rushed to hospital following a cardiac arrest.

He died of his wounds this afternoon, a prosecutor said.

It was the second such assault after a 13-year-old girl was left temporarily comatose after being attacked outside her school in the southern city of Montpellier on Tuesday.

Both incidents come at a time of heightened tensions around French schools after threats of attacks were sent to dozens of educational establishments via an internal messaging system.

“We have a form of uninhibited violence among our teenagers and sometimes among increasingly younger ones,” Macron said earlier in the day as he visited a primary school in Paris.

“Schools need to be shielded from this,” he said, adding they should “remain a sanctuary for our children, for their families, for our teachers.”

“We will be intransigent against all forms of violence,” he said. He however added it was now up to the investigators to shed light on both incidents.

“This extreme violence is becoming commonplace,” he added.

Last week  a teenage girl was attacked outside her school in the southern city of Montpellier.

Prosecutors said the girl, identified as Samara, had emerged from a coma but was “seriously injured”.

Three alleged attackers, including a girl from the same school in the city’s low-income area of La Mosson-La Paillade, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a minor.

“Each of them admits to having hit the victim,” prosecutor Fabrice Belargent said today, adding that the oldest of the three – a 15-year-old – would remain in temporary detention.

“It seems the assault came in the context of a group of teenagers who were used to insulting each other on social media,” Belargent said.

He made no reference to religion as a factor.

Samara’s mother had told media that her 13-year-old daughter had been bullied by a fellow pupil, raising the possibility this could have been over her behaviour and clothing being deemed un-Islamic.

But fellow pupils at the school said yesterday that the girl who took part in the assault had accused Samara of posting a picture of her with an insult on social media.

Young people are fleeing Portugal in droves

Portugal’s stagnating economy and aging and shrinking population.

With young Portuguese people leaving their homeland in droves in search of better-paid work, their older relatives and friends are worried about the future of the country.

The exodus, which is being compounded by a low birth rate, has seen the country’s population shrink by 2 percent, or 214,000 people, during the past decade, according to preliminary findings from the nation’s 2021 census.

However, around 80,000 people have been leaving the country each year. Most have been replaced by unskilled workers from other countries willing to toil for little pay in the tourism and agriculture sectors.

“At the same time as our qualified graduates are emigrating because wages here are so low, we are importing low-skilled immigrants,” David Justino, a former education minister and coordinator of the PSD’s election program, told the Financial Times newspaper. “This has the perverse effect of perpetuating a low-wage economy.”

Vegetarianism : A growing trend among the Young

Kintoa pig

In recent years, a growing trend toward vegetarianism and veganism has arisen among young people due to their increasing awareness of health, the environment and compassion for animals.

According to a recent poll conducted by the independent research firm Harris Interactive, the number of vegetarian youth in the United States has increased 70% in just the last few years. Another poll conducted by a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on vegetarianism, revealed that 0.5% of all U.S. children aged 6-17 are vegan.
