PARIS — French student leaders said the government had offered a package of education proposals on Monday in response to weeks of street protests, but vowed to keep demonstrating as the measures had fallen short of their demands. Emerging from a meeting with government officials, the students said the proposals included capping the size of some classes, loans for renovating schools and the replacement of a university admissions system they saw as unfair.
"Not all our demands were met. We'll go on for as long as it takes," Louis Letoublon, one of the representatives of high school students, said. There was no immediate confirmation of the education proposals from the government. A press conference to announce the details was delayed.
There were no immediate details on how much funding any such education package would require. The hands of President Emmanuel Macron's minority government are tied by national debt approaching 120 percent of GDP and high new borrowing needs already making it difficult to agree a budget for next year.
The protests, initially triggered by student discontent, h
Letters | Terry Barker says nationalisation changes who owns the shares, it does not change the rules, while James Wallace says the powers to intervene already exist. Plus a letter from Philip ClaytonAndy Burnham’s instruction to officials to look at all options for Thames Water and not feel constrained (Burnham urges officials to come up with more radical options for Thames Water, 19 October) is welcome, but the options will fail unless they answer the right question.Thames Water is not ill-regulated.
It is extractively regulated. For 30 years the rules have allowed dividends paid from borrowing, debt loaded on to customers and sewage discharged into rivers as the cheaper alternative to investment. The creditors now asking for a further £2.4bn are not an aberration; they are the system working as designed.

Letter | For some medics, working at a large centre means for the same pay you don’t have to work so hard, writes Dr Paul GodwinThe closure of maternity units is always a temptation when the NHS runs into staffing problems, largely of its own making (Up to 20 maternity units in England may have to shut, NHS leader warns, 19 October).In my area the quality of care has already been called into question at the largest local unit, and directing mothers to chance their luck there seems to be an undeserved reward.
Likewise a nearby large trust has had the quality of its neonatal care called into question. Closing small units is unlikely to provide the quality gain that is sought. Continue reading...
Republican Vivek Ramaswamy slammed opponent Democrat Amy Acton's campaign on Sunday, saying her campaign “defamed my mother” before he released a controversial attack ad earlier this month. Appearing on Fox News, Ramaswamy was asked whether he regretted releasing an attack ad that featured Acton’s estranged mother, Donna Arthur, calling her daughter a “liar.”
“I'll tell you the advice I was raised in: You never start a fight, but if you find yourself in one, you finish it, and you have to stand for what is right and what is true,” he said. “They've attacked me. They've defamed my mother to media silence.
It's unbelievable. And yet, at the same time, they'll trot out anything to attack a Republican.” Ramaswamy did not mention a specific instance of alleged defamation. The Hill has reached out to his campaign for clarification and comment. Acton has talked about experiencing physical and sexual abuse, along with neglect, during her childhood.
Her mother stayed with her stepfather even after he was charged with sexually abusing Acton when she was 12 years old, according to court documents. Acton’s campaign in August released attacks regarding Axovant, a company Ramaswamy founded that promoted Alzheimer’s medication, and the ad's included his mother.
“Today, new reporting details how billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy hired his own mother, who lacked research experience, to manipulate clinical trial data in an alleged ‘pump and dump’ pharmaceutical scheme,” the press release read. Addie Bullock, one of Acton’s communications directors, accused Ramaswamy of “shamelessly profiting off Alzheimer's patients and getting his own mother to manipulate clinical trial data, to make a buck," in a press release at that time.
Axovant went public and saw its value shoot up to more than $350 million in its initial public offering before plummeting after the company reported its Alzheimer’s drug failed Phase 3 testing. An investigation by Politifact, a nonpartisan fact-checker, found that Acton’s claims concerning Ramaswamy pushing an “Alzheimer’s drug that he knew didn’t work” and making “hundreds of millions of dollars scamming people” were mostly false.
New polling from Fox News showed Acton leading Ramaswamy by 2 points, although her lead is within the poll’s margin of error of 2 percentage points. Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
