If he said that he had “a thought for those who fight for life and for the wounded” (three protesters were seriously injured on Saturday), the minister “pointed out the extreme violence of certain small groups”, citing the movement “Uprisings of the land “. that he had called, together with other groups, the prohibited demonstration on Saturday.
“Therefore, I have decided to initiate the dissolution of the ‘Earth uprisings’, which I will propose after contradictory to a forthcoming council of ministers,” Darmanin announced Tuesday.
In a statement on Saturday, “Land Uprisings” denounced along with the other organizers of the demonstration “the serious violence against people, exercised once again by the police.” “Police violence has been staggering in its brutality: we have registered no fewer than 200 injuries and more continue to arrive,” they said.
