Clashes broke out Tuesday at the end of the Parisian carers' demonstration. According to information from Europe 1, it is "yellow vests", extremist trade unionists and groups against police violence that are at the origin of the violence. An "event flight" unacceptable to the nursing staff.

REPORTAGE

"We were robbed of the demonstration." From Rennes to Marseille via Grenoble, the angry caregivers, including many nurses, demonstrated on Tuesday to recall their demands while the Ségur de la santé must be completed by mid-July. But in Paris, the demonstration turned sour at the end of the route with projectile jets to which the police responded with tear gas shots. Unacceptable violence for Patrick Pelloux, president of the Association of emergency physicians of France, present in the Parisian procession.

"It is not morons and violent who will make the law!"

"We are not going to be robbed of this demonstration by morons! These are not morons and violent, people who are against the Republic, who will make the law!", He thunders at the microphone of Europe 1, while the last demonstrators are scattered on the Esplanade des Invalides after several hours of clashes with the police. According to our information, of the 18,000 people pounding the pavement identified by the authorities, it is a group of 2,000 demonstrators placed at the head of the procession, composed of "yellow vests", radical and collective trade unionists against police violence, who are at the origin of the scuffles.

Withholding claims rather than violence

"No sooner did we arrive at the Invalides than there were already clashes", says Anne-Gaëlle on the microphone of Europe 1. So despite the fires of urban furniture, projectile jets and other cries "everyone hate the police ", this woman who works in a nursing home hopes that it is not violence which will mark the spirits, but indeed" the message of the carers ". Namely the demand for a raise in wages, hiring and ending the deletions of beds in the public hospital.

We went from applause to gassing in less than 2 months. Apparently we love our heroes only when they close it. Support for #careers ♥ pic.twitter.com/NAZh9wiyh5

A call for applause at 8 p.m.

A hope also shared by Benoît, AP-HP blouse on the back, who retains that the procession was made up of "many people without a gown, patients and families of patients, who came to support them". And so that the support goes beyond the various demonstrations across France, the caregivers call on the French to applaud at their window at 8 p.m., like what they did daily during confinement.
