Viral photomontage of nurses. - screenshot / Facebook

  • Looking serious in front of the camera, a group of nurses brandished a sign containing a long message.
  • "Police officers yesterday, you hit, gassed, arrested, humiliated us ... Today, there is no room for you at the hosto! Indicates this message.
  • It is actually a montage diverting a photo taken by the resuscitation service of Ajaccio, March 15, to call not to go to vote in the first round of municipal.

Published by numerous Facebook pages, the photo combines “likes” and sharing over the hours, in addition to generating a lot of comments. We see male and female nurses, wearing masks, holding a large sign.

"Gentlemen, the police yesterday, you hit, gassed, arrested, humiliated us ... Today, there is no room for you at the hosto! Oops… ACAB to behave well ”, one can read there, the expression“ ACAB ”(“ All cops are bastards ”,“ all the cops are bastards ”) referring to a slogan particularly appreciated in demonstration.

It is, however, a montage - which a few pages or Internet users do not fail to emphasize.

FAKE OFF

The original photo, taken during the first round of the municipal elections, on March 15, indeed showed Ajaccio nurses holding up a sign with the much more serious message: “Do not go to vote / The resuscitation of Ajaccio / # Covid 19 "

We find traces of it on the Facebook page of Corse-Matin or even in the direct from France 3 Corse devoted to the ballot.

The day before the election, Gilles Simeoni, the president of the Executive Council of Corsica, had notably requested the postponement of the municipal elections due to the epidemic of coronavirus.

A few days before this montage went viral, an old photograph of the demonstration was already circulating on social networks and claimed to show nurses gassed by the police during the five-year term of Emmanuel Macron - while the scene dates back to 2010, as explained by our colleagues at AFP Factuel.
