- The newly established Stop Global Security group has asked the French Government to suspend the Global Security Bill or the Separatism Act. On 20 March, a demonstration was called in Baiona in defence of democracy, against the liberticidal laws.
Global Stop Security consists, inter alia, of: Euskal Herriko ATTAC eta Jaka Horiak or Bizi! movements; Association of Lawyers of the Basque Country, unions such as ELB, LAB or Solidaires; and EH Bai, Communist Party, Ensemble! France Insoumise.
Stop Global Security has stressed that the government headed by Emmanuel Macron is developing an entire “arsenal of laws” to “impede freedom of opinion, freedom of information and information, freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of expression and freedom of narration in general.” He has denounced that the Global Security Bill would increase the “impunity” of the Police and deepen vigilance “through drones and cameras on foot”. On the other hand, with the Law against Separatism, they claim that the government has imposed an "islamophobic" law on the excuse of "strengthening secularism and the Republic".
Demonstration on Saturday in Baiona
The agents gathered at Stop Seguridad Global have rejected the "authoritarian leadership" of the French State and have demanded the Government to withdraw the Global Security preliminary draft, the Separatism Act, the new National Order Maintenance Scheme and the three decrees of 2 December 2020 that "promote the dissemination of police files". In order to assert all this, the citizens have called to demonstrate on Saturday in Baiona, under the slogan For Democracy, against the liberticidal laws.
