Guadeloupe continued Thursday to see its roads, as well as access to the CHU, blocked by demonstrators on the fourth day of a mobilization launched by a collective of union and citizen organizations to protest against the health pass and the obligation vaccination of caregivers against Covid-19.

On the island, the epidemic is picking up slightly, but the hospital situation remains stable.

Incidents in front of the CHU

Several incidents were reported during the day, especially around the CHU where, at 6 a.m., a tire dam had been erected by demonstrators, most of them hooded. The barrier was dismantled several times by the police and reassembled by the demonstrators, before being set on fire. A firefighter carrying tires was arrested and presented to a judge before being placed under judicial supervision, indicates the public prosecutor, Patrick Desjardin.

“The situation is complicated at the CHU de Guadeloupe.

The roadblocks, suspensions, sick leaves but also blockades and demonstrations in front of the hospital etc., disrupt the smooth running of care, chemotherapy for example could not be administered today.

Doctors cannot join their posts, ”explains Cédric Zolezzi, deputy CEO of the CHU de Guadeloupe.

Many blocked axes, including small roads

Friday, a young person will be brought before the prosecution for immediate appearance for throwing projectiles and crowding, added the prosecutor who said that a police officer was injured during the day. "This violence can neither be tolerated nor accepted and must even be condemned by all", declared Thursday evening in a press release the prefect of Guadeloupe, Alexandre Rochatte, warning that "the perpetrators of violence will continue to be arrested and prosecuted. "

On the other highways, including in the small roads of the Grands Fonds, in the Guadeloupe countryside, roadblocks blocked the passage.

Many of them have been dismantled, "by residents or motorists," noted Steve Salim, an entrepreneur specializing in short agricultural circuits.

The entrepreneur, who crisscrosses the island to ensure the delivery of his vegetable baskets, was unable to work normally.

In a press release, the Union des Entreprises-Medef condemned "firmly the obstacles to freedom of movement".

"After months of restrictive measures for our population and for the country's economy, it is unacceptable to allow this spiral of self-destruction to prosper," she denounced.
