Avignon, November 6, everyone expected at the funeral of the protest movement and the most planplan year. and no, demo wild confrontation with CRS overwhelmed, gassing and beating of protesters would be on the program!

all starts at 14 pm at the station to appeal for Inter, at most a thousand people gathered at the start of the demo (the unions had announced 20,000 protesters at the last day). Then the procession moves off and starts to grow beautifully. How many protesters arriving at the Pont d'Avignon? Thousands but in any case far more than any forecasters had predicted hair does. First surprise.

Then at the end of the traditional decision-words, a person (perhaps SOUTH) called on demonstrators to get to the Palace of the Popes (in downtown) which ends the "Forum d'Avignon" ( " international meetings of the culture, economy and media) in the presence of all the villains imagined and their minister Frederic Mitterrand. It's about a thousand demonstrators to converge to the 16h place in small groups without labels or union (CGT or SUD).

The area in question is locked by an impressive device and CRS riot police. A first small group of protesters (SOUTH, CGT or without labels) is seeking to reach the Place du Palais des Papes by an alley / staircase but is facing a small dam mobile guards. and then pushes them to go .. The military retaliated by firing grenades lacrymo hype and manly (who sees a protester's head start in blood) and resume the street.

Other groups, taking advantage of a labyrinth of alleys, getting through the police guard to enter the Palace Square, they were soon to settle hundreds. Other hundreds of demonstrators in the two main streets leading to the square face cords of mobile guards overwhelmed by the situation. For over an hour.

The many participants in the Forum of culture and having finished their champagne before taking a TGV back to Paris, riot police reinforcements were dispatched to the site for free the passage of chauffeured sedans waiting. The demonstrators in the square were gassed, shoved and clubbed. Rumors speak of two arrests (including one released shortly thereafter).

Then comes the turn of the forum participants of a second area (without sedan with driver) coming together in buses and minibuses under the whistles and jeers of protesters. then blocking the departure of vehicles to the TGV station. Further intervention by CRS that push the troublemakers with their shields.

Then the prefect of Vaucluse, in full uniform and escorted by cops of the DCRI and the LAC, who wants to break through to reach the remote prefecture 300 m The protesters, having spotted, run up and insulted him. What's his name? "Motherfucker! "Replied an official CGT (a little homophobic but good.). The CRS must speeder to ensure its protection until the prefecture.

At this point it becomes very confusing and the more he begins to get dark (it is more than 18 h). CRS initiate a movement on the Place de l'Horloge where demonstrators massed and gather in front of the trucks located on a side street (rue Favart). Nobody understands
what they will do, but about two hundred protesters gathered in front of the vans; there are many fewer unionists badged over without labels, but also a lot of young lads lying around on the streets of the Republic: everyone mouth "Police everywhere, justice nowhere! "" Free Avignon! "But also a vibrant and repetitive" break up! . In fact, the CRS had gathered here to pick the place, a row of shield should be deployed to make a passage for trucks that fold under the insults, catcalls, whistles and throwing a few shots of fortune. Last "incident" when a protester opened the door of the last truck (logistics) cops; while the CRS gazent to emerge but are closely followed for some time by demonstrators shouting "you break it! . Not military victory but at least moral if not political.

short, unheard of for a small quiet town like Avignon! The struggle continues! No retirement for it!
