French government officials and politicians have accused the far-left La France Insoumise of inciting the dramatic wave of urban violence that left at least 1,949 arrested and at least 305 police officers and gendarme agents injured.

According to French outlets, the majority 90 percent detainees are minors involved in the chaotic acts.

Several student protests have rocked the European nation in recent days after they initially erupted at a high school in Créteil on September 18, with participants allegedly demanding better conditions and resources for their schools and a solution to overcrowded classrooms and a lack of teachers as the manifestations expanded across the French territory.

The protests, however, rapidly strayed away from their alleged peaceful nature and became increasingly violent this week, with over 440 individuals — mostly minors — being detained nationally on Tuesday.

Staying true to threats issued earlier this week, the protesters staged a new round of violent riots on October 1 across Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Strasbourg, among several other municipalities — leading to the dramatic events that unfolded throughout  Thursday. While initially a "high school protest," French outlets detailed that university students joined the violent protests, further bolstering the rioters' ranks.

Additionally, French security officials have reportedly identified individuals and vandals that are not related to schools who have incited violence, described by witnesses as "hooded, dressed all in black," and with their faces concealed by masks.

Prior to the dramatic events of Thursday, members of the French government, such as Education Minister Édouard Geffray publicly accused La France Insoumise party of "co-opting" and manipulating the supposedly peaceful student protests.

Per Reuters, the French government was informed by the nation's intelligence agencies during an emergency crisis meeting that La France Insoumise was behind Thursday's wave of violence. The party has since then reportedly denied the allegations.

National Rally leader Marine Le Pen issued similar accusations as the chaos unfolded on Thursday, directly holding Jean-Luc Mélechon responsible for the violent protest in a statement published on social media.

"By personally going to high schools to harangue young people, by calling on his supporters to rise up, and by sending his representatives to these schools, Jean-Luc Mélenchon bears a heavy responsibility for the situation our country is facing today," Le Pen wrote.
