Saturday was the opportunity for a few hundred "yellow vests" to be heard in different cities in France. In Strasbourg, there were about thirty of them, divided into small groups. The demonstration had not been declared, according to the Prefecture of Bas-Rhin. She recalled in a statement that "in the context of a health crisis, such gatherings promote the spread of Coronavirus-Covid-19" and are therefore "limited to ten people".
Under these conditions, the police carried out 65 identity checks and 41 people were fined, the body said. One person was arrested for "rebellion and refusal to disperse".
According to the Latest News from Alsace, it was a man in his sixties who had come to demonstrate in Place Kléber at the call of the New Anticapitalist Party. This Sunday morning, the NPA "demanded his immediate release" and denounced the actions of the police. "While the demonstrators gathered together strictly respected health precautions, it was the police who broke the physical distance by charging the demonstrators, sometimes with the mask raised," wrote the party again.
