Protests, hearing and vote France, Cornell and Spain

Oct 1

The complete international roundup first reports renewed October 2 clashes between riot police and high-school students in Paris suburbs, objects thrown, at least two school fires and arrests. It attributes the movement to classroom conditions, teacher shortages and funding concerns and says it spread beyond Paris. It then describes Cornell's Student Assembly public hearing on sexual violence, with students demanding more effective university action after disputed allegations of a 2024 fraternity gang rape, a civil suit and a reopened criminal inquiry; the governor's transfer of responsibility to the state attorney general is context. Finally it reports Spain's parliament rejecting a housing decree, describing vulnerable-tenant eviction protection through 2030 and a two-year rent freeze, eviction-triggered protests and anger outside parliament with further mobilization promised. The report gives no vote tally, second-decree identifier or adjudication of the Cornell allegations.

At a Cornell Student Assembly public hearing on sexual violence in Ithaca, students voiced anger and demanded more effective university action following disputed allegations of a 2024 fraternity gang rape. ABC's October 1 account includes assembly president Eeshaan Chaudhuri's condemnation and a student's account of another assault. TV Brasil's later roundup describes the hearing and the renewed civil and criminal scrutiny. These accounts do not adjudicate the allegations.
