"We are there, we are there even, if Macron does not want us we are there", they intoned when they arrived at the Palais des Sports where the mayor of Toulouse presented his wishes to the agents of the community. On the sidelines of the demonstration against pensions, this Thursday, a few hundred people decided to disrupt the classic vows ceremony of Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR).

On a panel, one could read "Emmanuel Moudenc mayor of the rich", in reference to the support of LREM brought to the outgoing mayor, candidate for his succession. The latter remained in the gallery while demonstrators, including "yellow vests", broke into it.

The wishes of Jean-Luc Moudenc to the staff of #Toulouse disturbed by the legitimate claims against the retirement plan of Macron. In Toulouse, as nationally, the fight against all liberal policies is a priority. #ReformeRetraites pic.twitter.com/PRdNGPMLhp

They ended up leaving the room. Jean-Luc Moudenc then spoke again and specified that in the name of "freedom of expression", he had "proposed to the demonstrators, in exchange for a peaceful outing, to speak for a few minutes".

A violent and extremist minority forced their way into @jlmoudenc's vows to community agents. An injured officer and numerous property damage.

But the city councilor also condemned "the unacceptable violence of the action carried out, during which an officer was injured and several doors of the Sports Palace damaged".

Refusal to correct, 20/20 for everyone, no supervision… Are the first continuous exams of the bac in danger?
