The video shows a confrontation between MEP Anthony Smith and law enforcement officers during high school blockades. The MP asks for the identification of the authority on site and tells the police to stop. He claims that the police intervention is a "folly" and is "irresponsible". He argues that issues concerning youth should not be resolved through force. A police officer orders those present to step back. The MP mentions his role as a European representative to question the officers about the representation of the State and order.
