History
After a temporary unity during the May revolt of
1968, the French student movement
was split by many ideological conflicts in the 1970's. Next to existing
organizations many (tiny) radical organizations (communist, anti-communist and
trotskyist) were established. Only government plans for educational and
university reforms reunited the students during a short period.
Michel Renard, born in Paris
1954, participated (on behalf of the
Union Nationale des Étudiants de france-Renouveau)
together with Julien Dray (on behalf of the
Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire) and
Jean-Christophe Cambadélis (on behalf of the
Alliance des Jeunes pour le Socialisme of the
Parti Communiste Internationale) in leading the movement
against the university reforms of the French government in
1976. He became history teacher and
was also active in the election campaign for presidency of Pierre
Juquin in 1988.
