Reference News Network reported on December 7 According to a report by Agence France-Presse Paris on December 5, during protests against the bill “Total Security Act” on Saturday afternoon in Paris local time, there were some acts of vandalism and violence. The police eventually arrested 22 people.
An hour and a half after the demo team left Paris, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the security officer, who then responded with tear gas. Among the vehicles parked on Gombetta Avenue in the 20th District, at least six cars and a truck were burned, and the windows of many banks and real estate agents were smashed by men in black clothes who were moving quickly. Occasionally fires broke out along the route the team was passing through and some simple barricades could also be seen.
According to reports, French Interior Minister Gerald Dalmanin stated that as of 16:30 local time, 22 people had been detained. He called them “very violent people” on Twitter.
According to the organizers, there were almost 90 similar demonstrations in France, mainly to protest against the application of police violence and the draft law “General Security Law”.
On Friday local time, President Macron, accused of constantly taking measures to “undermine freedom”, emphasized to young people online: “I cannot accept the claim that freedom in France has been weakened. This is a lie. I am a violent law enforcement against the police. ” There is no opinion on the statement, but I am deconstructing this issue because it has become a slogan for some people with political demands ”.
The report also said that in addition to Paris, in cities such as Toulouse, Marseille, Lille, Rennes, Strasbourg and Lyon, there were also thousands or even thousands of people protesting against the “Total Security Act” bill.
According to a report by Taiwan’s “Central News Agency” in Paris on December 5, the French people protested against the new “General Security Law” passed by the National Assembly, leading to national demonstrations. Among them, the capital, Paris, was very hot, clashes between civilians and police took place on two consecutive weekends, vehicles were set on fire and business windows were smashed. The French Interior Ministry stated that a total of 64 people were arrested across the country and 8 policemen were injured.
The weekly national demonstrations gradually became headaches for the Macron government. After an African-American music producer was beaten up by several police officers in November, tensions rose.
However, the number of protesters on December 5 was less than half the number before. According to the French Interior Ministry, some 52,000 people across the country took to the streets on December 5, compared with more than 130,000 a week ago.
France’s controversial “General Security Law” was reportedly passed at first reading in the National Assembly on November 20, with Article 24 being the most criticized. The main content of the law is to punish the public for “maliciously disseminating images of faces (of law enforcement officers) or other identifiable characteristics in military, police and constitutional operations, and the purpose is obviously to harm the personal safety or mental state of the law enforcement officers “. Those involved will face a year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros.

[Lectura ampliada]The French “yellow vest” shows are back
Reference News Network reported on September 13 According to Reuters in Paris, French police clashed with “yellow vest” protesters in Paris on September 12 local time. They used tear gas and detained more than 250 people.
By noon that day, hundreds of protesters had reportedly gathered at the starting point of two authorized demonstrations in Paris.

[Lectura ampliada]French sociologist: Why did the demonstrations spread to many countries?
Reference News Network reported on June 15 Two weeks after the police killed the black American George Floyd in Minnesota, protests against violent police forces and against racial discrimination spread around the world. Regarding this massive protest and demonstration, the website of the French weekly “New Observer” published an exclusive interview with the French sociologist and president of the Council of Representatives of the Black Association, Michel Viviolka, entitled “If this protest can remain global , things will change a bit. ” The article is extracted as follows:
The protests and demonstrations triggered by the death of Freud began in the United States, but they have caused repercussions around the world, mainly because the current demonstrations involve values, human rights, justice, equality, rationality and even non-violence, and involve all the things of the world. People.
The current environment may also explain why this response is sweeping the world. First of all, this movement was first launched in the United States under the Trump administration. For many people, this is an excellent opportunity to express their extreme dissatisfaction with the current American regime. Second, these demonstrations took place during the period of the epidemic. People are generally concerned and need unity and direction. Anti-racism brings us closer to this point.
Anti-racism is a global phenomenon, but it is unique in all the historical stages of each country. We have entered such a historic stage: people have learned to choose between integrating or staying on the sidelines, and they also know whether to be global or regional. Around the world, the past of racism has come to light. In Australia, for example, the controversy over indigenous peoples is extremely important. For a long time before the late 1960s, 100,000 Aboriginal children were forcibly separated from their parents and sent to boarding schools, called upon by the government to integrate them into society.
This is the first time that a large-scale global attack has occurred. The current movement is based more on equality of values and the will to belong to society. This movement is not a war between black and white, or to end the white government, but to show that there is injustice and that human rights and equality must be respected. At this point, there should be some kind of common response across the world.
This global movement will change some things, as long as it can maintain globality and not fall to standardism.
