INTERVIEW
The controversy continues to swell around the muscular arrest of a nurse, Tuesday, on the sidelines of a demonstration of caregivers, and which aroused the indignation of the left opposition. Placed in police custody after throwing stones at the police, this 52-year-old woman will have to appear on September 25 before the Paris Criminal Court, and will be tried for "contempt" and "violence without total interruption of work (ITT) "on a person holding public authority, announced the Paris prosecutor's office.

During her police custody, the nurse working at the Paul-Brousse hospital in Villejuif, in Val-de-Marne, acknowledged the facts, while explaining that she had cracked, exhausted by the management of the coronavirus crisis in the hospital, with up to 14 hours of work per day, and around 20 deceased patients.
The nurse was on the street "to defend his profession"
In the afternoon, a support rally was held in front of the police station in the 7th arrondissement where she had been placed in police custody. A hundred people, sometimes wearing a white blouse or a yellow vest, participated. Among them, the nurse's daughter, hopes that her mother's claims will be accepted, rather than the circumstances of her arrest. "This story must not make us forget why it was on the street at the base. If it was there, it was to defend its profession," she said in particular. "We have to listen to this, we have to listen to this anger. This anger is there. It will manifest itself in one way or another if no one listens to it," she warned again.
