The French Government tightens up measures to deal with Jaka Rodríguez ' s protests

  • Jaka Hori announced the 20th mobilization event of the Euskal Etxea of Barcelona. Many citizens and politicians are convinced that tomorrow, 23 March, will be the turning point of the demonstrations. The French Government has taken special measures to punish the unauthorised demonstrations and "creative unrest" that have taken place in France.

22 March 2019 - 09:57

Last Saturday several buildings in the Elysées of Paris were set on fire, among other shops and banks, in the mobilizations called by Jaka Hori. The French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, has assured us that the Government will severely punish people participating in demonstrations that have not been communicated.

They proclaim themselves as a movement that is manifested legally within the framework of the Republic. However, the French Government has "invited" those same jackets to take action against "troublemakers", such as deputies or senators of political parties participating in the opposition of the National Assembly.

Edouard Philippe thus expressed himself after the last violent incidents: “The rebels’ methods have changed, so the authorities also need to change the response against them.”

Throughout the week, the Government has announced a number of measures. The French football player will use this Saturday in Paris the usual methods of defence he uses in his fight against ultra football. It has created a "system" to identify and classify rioters.

Accordingly, the defendants may prohibit access to demonstrations by: "Those who cause the incidents have to pay for the damage caused to them. Those who practise violence must assume the civil responsibility for material damage, not the taxpayers.”

"Tomorrow's demonstrations can mark a turning point between one and the other after it has passed. The government wants special care to be taken of the buildings targeted by the hardest demonstrators."

The demonstrations of these vests are not confined to capital, but the disturbances in Paris have attracted the attention of the media around the world. For this Saturday, numerous calls have been made on social networks, the most striking of the cities, in the Trocadero, in the 16th.

In this way, many of them want to differentiate themselves from those who tend to provoke violent manifestations and aggressions, and thus maintain the ways of making Jaka go ahead with his demands.

Paris is not the only city of these callers. More than 3,000 calls have been received on Facebook to go to Montpellier, Strasbourg, Lyon or La Rochelle, among others.

Since the beginning of the protests of these kids, 1,000 people have been sentenced and 5,600 have been arrested: “We are in favour of the right to demonstrate, but we cannot allow the protests to break things, burn... challenge the institutions,” the Prime Minister stressed.

It seems that tomorrow’s demonstrations can mark a turning point between one and the other after it has passed. The government wants buildings that target "the hardest demonstrators" to be specially monitored. The police operation, called "sentinelle", has entered into force this Saturday. The soldiers of the army will be responsible for preventing the protesters’ attacks on government positions. The operation has been presented under the title “19th act of implementation of the order”.

Yellowish laru
