Nantes. France. This Saturday, January 16 in Nantes, the first day of a curfew, reintroduced in an authoritarian country.

- More than 5000 people in the streets to defend fundamental rights.
- In spite of the omnipresent humidity, a long, crowded and plural demonstration.
- A very energetic front at the demonstration, which has put the big repressive device in difficulty on several occasions, following police provocations on the sides.
- The heart of the demonstration with sound trucks and hundreds of people dancing in this mobile free party in the center of the city.
- The CRS and BAC taking colors
- Long confrontations and charges in front of the prefecture. Several arrests. Many grenades and water cannons.
- Rainbow umbrellas and demonstrators who do not back down.
- An intense but short demonstration, because the music trucks could not get through the thick tear gas cloud that was permanently fired between Erdre and the Prefecture.
A large, determined demonstration against the governmentâs repressive measures. This day of mobilization has illustrated a slogan that was seen in the early afternoon: â2021,will be mutinousâ.
To be continued!
