More than 75% of French universities are occupied by striking students, along with a comparable number of highschools. Anti-CPE rioting and clashes with police spread across the country, and 69% of the population continues to support the demonstrations. On Saturday, March 18, 1.5 million students, workers, and youth march, threatening to escalate further action. On Monday, a national strike is called for March 28. Polls reveal that some 71% of French now believe that in the anti-CPE unrest exists “a major social crisis which can become extensive during weeks which come”. V i d e o . C o n f e r e n c e . and .
