00:53Young people are not being included in the conversation. Our future is being robbed away from us.
00:58And as we've seen here, schools are not getting investments that they need, which, I mean, it just gives a
01:06signal to the young people that you are not prioritised in our society.
01:09And what are we supposed to do then? Just give up? And of course not.
01:13So that's what the people are doing here, saying that we are not going to give up and we are
01:17going to fight for that future that is being robbed in front of us, in front of our very eyes.
01:21So I'm incredibly proud of of the French students.
