 [machine translation]

Saturday, November 1 were organized demonstrations in several cities in France. They 
followed the killing by police of a protester, Remi Fraisse, during a demonstration 
against the dam Testet. It was useless to protest against the project and against police 
violence. ---- But the government chose to ban most events and even to make preventive 
arrests. Indeed, while the extreme right beats quietly paved the five-year period since 
the beginning of the demonstrations in support of the Palestinian struggle, or against the 
great useless projects (Notre-Dame-des-Landes, dam Testet) are regularly banned. ---- 
Under the pretext of event risk, it is actually whenever gag anger and always give more 
reasons to suppress again. It is also to divide the "good" and "bad" opponents and thus 
weaken the movement by allowing such an event and prohibiting another, as happened in Paris.

The media have happily taken the language elements of the government and the police 
routinely speaking of "radical groups" or "thugs". This is far from reality.

Thousands of people came to denounce police violence, the arrogance of power and 
unnecessary projects. Of environmental activists, families, trade unionists, came to 
express their anger. Yes, there has been violence: police prevented people scroll gassing 
and clubbing those present. There are more offensive grenades in the arsenal of the police 
but very offensive uses of Flash-Ball grenades and projectiles are legion, the government 
is not fooling anyone. Result: many are injured, including some-es-es disfigured for life. 
Face police violence, people can no longer be sider and express their anger, it is a 
reflex that we must generalize.

Because violence is on the side of a criminal police, who ordered to punish those who 
fight against injustice! The "riots" that the mainstream media like to serve us at 20h are 
only the result of an authoritarian government that has lost all legitimacy and gives free 
rein to the police to provoke violence. But Toulouse, force gassed and clubbed the police 
only managed to attract the wrath of the crowd of passers-by more than protesters. The 
media speak of "thugs", the politician-nes condemning "violence" events are not in the 
street alongside those who show

The reason for this suppression and the makeup of the facts is that the power is afraid. 
Those who govern know they no longer have any political legitimacy and what they fear 
above all it is a convergence of anger. Especially since the government wants to reassure 
the private interests that hold fiercely Dam Sivens devastating as other projects. For us 
to show them that they have reason to fear: make sure that those who are struggling to 
meet shout with one voice, let us ensure that popular solidarity is at the height of 
police violence!
