Titolo: La Rivolta! Paris rally turns violent (Reuters)

Mi sembra impossibile ignorare quel che sta succedendo in Francia, non 
solo per la violenza  pochi mesi dopo le macchine bruciate, ma per la 
precarieta'  giovanile che da noi e' altrettanto forte - la generazione 
dei callcenter.
Si conosce il programma dell'Unione in materia, oltre al cuneo fiscale?

Paris rally turns violent
 PARIS (Reuters) - Rampaging French youths set fire to cars and looted 
shops in Paris on Thursday, marring protests against a youth jobs law 
that Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, in a conciliatory move, 
agreed to discuss with unions.
 Aides said Villepin would meet senior trade union officials on Friday 
to try to defuse a crisis that has triggered a national strike threat 
and drawn hundreds of thousands of protesters on to French streets.
 In Paris, riot police fired tear gas in clashes with youths, dubbed 
"casseurs" by the French, in the Invalides areas near the Foreign 
Ministry, Reuters witnesses said.
 Youths threw stones at police and set fire to the door of an apartment 
building in running battles at the end of a largely peaceful rally by 
thousands of students and workers against the CPE First Job Contract.
 "This time, there are lots of young criminals on the march who are 
there to steal and smash. This discredits the movement," said Charlie 
Herblin, a 22-year-old worker on the march.
 Dozens of young people, many wearing masks or hoods, overturned cars, 
smashed shop windows and robbed student demonstrators of clothes and 
mobile phones, witnesses said. Police said they had arrested 42 people.
 Clashes also erupted in the western city of Rennes, where about 300 to 
400 youths battled with police.
 Tens of thousands of students marched in cities throughout France, 
including Tours, Orleans and Marseille, as part of rolling protests 
designed to maintain pressure on Villepin to axe a contract they say 
will create "Kleenex workers" whom employers can throw away at will.
 Unions have called a one-day national strike for Tuesday to demand the 
withdrawal of the CPE, which allows employers to fire people aged under 
26 at any stage during a two-year trial period, without stating a 
reason.
 WRITTEN INVITATION
 In response to a written invitation for a meeting by Villepin, leaders 
of the five main labour confederations said they would meet the prime 
minister on Friday, but they reiterated their demand for the CPE to be 
withdrawn.
 President Jacques Chirac has increased pressure on his prime minister 
to renew contact with unions, said the Le Parisien newspaper, 
suggesting Villepin's job was now at stake.
 "If things don't change very quickly, the prime minister will be 
fired," it quoted one government source as saying.
 Villepin's popularity has slumped and analysts say the protests are 
damaging the prime minister's thinly veiled ambitions to run in the 
2007 presidential election.
 Responding to prodding from Chirac, Villepin told union leaders in his 
letter he wanted a meeting "as quickly as possible" and would not 
restrict the agenda. Until now he has said he would only discuss how 
best to enforce the new law.
 In the letter, Villepin said he wanted to discuss "without 
preconceptions" ways to tackle the fears raised by the CPE.
 Villepin has championed the law as a key tool in the battle to cut 
youth unemployment of 23 percent. Ministers have offered to halve the 
trial period and require bosses to justify layoffs.
 Protests over the measure have disrupted three-quarters of the 
country's 84 universities and Education Minister Gilles de Robien said 
looming exams could be postponed until the autumn.
 Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, Villepin's rival to contest the 
presidency under the conservatives' colours, on Wednesday broke ranks 
over the CPE contract, calling for a six-month trial period in an 
effort to ease the crisis.
 Sarkozy fears the protests that have spread across France could boost 
the Left and sink the conservatives' chances in both the presidential 
and parliamentary polls due next spring.

The Guardian:
As the protests continued, pavements were littered with glass, parked 
cars had had all their windows put out, and benches had been ripped up 
to throw at police. One tourist took mobile phone photos, saying it was 
a portrait of modern France.
A university student who had been at the protest and watched the 
violence erupt said: "It was both students and young people. But the 
police have arrested a hell of a lot of people who had nothing to do 
with it. They are fascists."
A town planning student, Viviane Macé, said: "Bands of young guys have 
been running past the protesters with baseball bats all afternoon. It 
is a small minority of people but I can totally understand what is 
going through their minds. They feel as desperate as we do and they 
have got no other way to express themselves. They feel violence is the 
only action to take. I think some people might not even know what the 
CPE is. It says a lot about our society that people feel the need to 
express themselves with bats and metal bars."
One woman who had come to protest from the Seine-Saint-Denis region, 
which experienced the worst of last autumn's youth riots, said: "There 
are now kids in the worst areas of the suburbs who are being born into 
families where the parents have never worked. It is desperate."
