Pierre Sautarel wrote that he could still understand the day before why the police were overwhelmed by the simultaneous management of the protests, black blocs, and bands of looters. He believed that, that evening, despite the absence of large demonstrations and processions to manage, the looting continued and the police still seemed overwhelmed. #France #Police #Sécurité (translated)

Before the departure of the procession, the LR mayor of Limoges, Guillaume Guérin, saluted "the many elected officials present representing all the republican camps, with the exception of those from La France Insoumise, largely accountable for this chaos." #Limoges #Incendie #Mobilisation (translated)

Cerfia reported, citing BFMTV, that a demonstrator had died in Paris after a health incident on Boulevard Magenta, along the route of the procession. Other demonstrators had transported him to the Château-d'Eau emergency center, where he died in front of the premises. According to Cerfia, the police prefecture had confirmed a death resulting from a cardiorespiratory arrest. #Paris #Manifestation #Urgence (translated)

Didier Maïsto contested the presentation of events in Paris. He claimed that a festive and calm procession had filled Boulevard Magenta without incident, while thousands of young masked individuals dressed in black had confronted law enforcement at Place de la République. According to him, the police had very little retaliated despite the throwing of urban furniture, large stones, and relentless mortar fire. Maïsto added that by late afternoon, the neighborhood and other areas had been looted, set on fire, and vandalized, and that no police officers were present. He stated that he had been documenting police violence for nearly ten years, but argued that this time, law enforcement had been used by Emmanuel Macron and his associates to provoke chaos. He estimated that police officers, high school students, protesters, and citizens had been deceived, and called on his counterpart to take issue with Macron rather than the police, reminding that he had had him re-elected. He finally asserted that the journalists and citizens present could confirm his account. #France #Manifestation #Vérité (translated)

Antoine Léaument wrote that the Insoumis had attempted to organize a declared and peaceful march, but that the prefecture had, according to him, done everything to prevent the demonstration from reaching its starting point. He indicated that the gathering ultimately ended at Place de Clichy, which he described as tiny, and he felt that the situation made no sense. https://t.co/cAyVAYVw0e #Manifestation #Politique #Clichy (translated)

While the law enforcement setup has been criticized by several figures on the left, notably Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Minister of the Interior has "disagreed" and emphasized that "without the internal security forces today, there would have been no procession, there would have been no parade." #Manifestations #Gouvernement #ViolencesUrbanes (translated)

550,000 people gathered today, including 110,000 in Paris. The vast majority of those arrested are adults. An investigation is ongoing after a protester had their hand severed in Saint Etienne.
