Ministry of Education denies any "cancellation" of the visit, it was simply reorganized. Protesters forced an entrance to the National Higher Institute of Teaching and Education (Inspe), shouting "we too will pass in force" The police, present inside, prevented them from entering the building, firing tear gas.
The announcement - only two hours before - of his trip had immediately sparked a call on the networks to welcome the minister in the heckling. The few hundred people who had gathered in the welcoming committee were equipped with pots, pans, buckets, boxes of tin biscuits, whistles but also foghorns and smoke.
