RE: The Story of My Life so Far - Part 21 - May 1968 in Paris
The May 68 unrest in France was similar to similar unrest in the US: young baby boomers were frustrated to be living in a society that they saw as hidebound, rigid and looking at the past (only 23 years after WWII) instead of to the future. They wanted more freedom.
"Il est interdit d'interdire" was a way to ask for more freedom.
