On Thursday, April 27, a protest march took place in Paris against the presidential candidates, ex-minister Emmanuel Macron and leader of the National Front party Marine Le Pen. It is noteworthy that only French schoolchildren participated in the protest action.
Teenagers took to the streets of the city protesting with youthful maximalism against politicians whom they do not like. It is quite understandable: with those political leaders whom they will choose, they will live in their country in the future.
