Act of October 24: the mayor of Bordeaux prohibits the city center to demonstrators to avoid another looting

Act II of October 24: The mayor of Bordeaux bans the city center for protesters to avoid further looting Thomas Cazenave (Renaissance) has taken several measures before the next demonstration against the cost of living, scheduled for Saturday. It is particularly out of the question for the procession to pass through the rue de Sainte-Catherine, the city's main commercial artery. Pass the advertisement Pass the advertisementThe procession of Act II of the demonstration against the cost of living announced for Saturday will not have the right to the rue Sainte-Catherine. To avoid new looting and pillaging of businesses, the mayor of Bordeaux has chosen to ban the city center for protesters with the support of the prefecture of Gironde. The objective is to allow protesters to express their demands, separating them from the hordes of vandals and looters who mingle with the crowd. "We cannot afford another wave of violence, we cannot relive Saturday afternoon (October 17th, NDLR) that we experienced. Those who want to demonstrate peacefully must be able to do so, while the vandals must be kept at a distance," thundered alderman Thomas Cazenave (Renaissance) following a meeting with the merchants, organized in an emergency at the Palais Rohan on Tuesday.

In parallel, the city hall of Bordeaux plans to open a permanent facility for "defining with each merchant the means to provide themselves with permanent iron curtain-like devices." To prevent vandals from using them as fuel to start fires or objects to build barricades, the shared scooters and electric bicycles will be put out of service this weekend. Private individuals are also asked to bring in and store as much of their garbage as possible so that it cannot be used by troublemakers. Finally, a curfew is imposed on unaccompanied minors to wander in the city center without an adult from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. until Sunday. If necessary, the prefecture of Gironde may tighten this by the end of this weekend. There are currently no comments regarding this article. Be the first to give your opinion!
