The interior minister said there were 903 communal and rubbish fires in Paris yesterday
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanen announced that during yesterday’s ninth day of protests against the reform of the pension system, 457 arrests were made, while 441 police and gendarmes were injured.
In his statements to the Cnews network, the Minister of the Interior stated that there were 903 fires of communal objects and garbage yesterday in Paris during the trade union demonstration.
The Minister of the Interior repeated the finding about the radicalization of the protesters’ movement, blaming it on the extreme left.
“The extreme left wants to attack the Republic,” he said, adding that a “collective message of condemnation” was needed.
Gérald Darmanen expressed his surprise at the lack of reaction of the politicians for the wounded and gendarmes who reach a thousand since the beginning of the mobilizations. He spoke of a kind of “national sport that consists in tarnishing” the security forces.
“The country must wake up and condemn the extreme left and the riots. They are not many, but they are extremely violent,” he said.
Referring to the black blocs, the rioters, whose number is estimated at 1,500 during yesterday’s demonstration in Paris, Gérald Darmanin said that they should be called “black bourges” because they come from wealthy families and added that if “they could to kill’ a policeman or gendarme ‘they would be happy’.
The minister hailed the “excellent” work of law enforcement in preventing “death”. “There was no death, there was no serious injury,” he said, adding, however, that there was a serious injury to a protester in Rouen under unclear circumstances.
