The kitty of support for the boxer of gendarmes at a gathering of "yellow vests" last Saturday in Paris was controversial. Marlene Schiappa, Secretary of State for Equality between men and women, was offended Tuesday at the microphone FranceInfo, denouncing " people who decide to finance free violence ." But for some demonstrators, this violence is legitimate. Loy is one of those protesters who uses violence. RFI met him.

When we see old people who have worked all their lives and who are blasting themselves on them, that makes me violent, I'm sorry, but seeing bloodied people makes it violent [...] It's a fight, it's is to fight, that's how freedom was acquired ... pacifism did not serve much in fact.
