 [machine translation]

On October 26, following months of violence and harassment of opposition es Dam Sivens by 
gendarmes, Remi Fraisse was killed by one of their grenades. His death has created in the 
current protests against airport Notre-Dame-des-Landes and against this barrage of new 
dividing lines between "violent" and "non-violent" - and finished height of obscenity by 
serving a government which is solely responsible yet! That is why it is urgent, on the one 
hand, to overcome the emotion aroused by the death reflecting on his manipulation by power 
and, secondly, to denounce a "debate" about the violence that has sole purpose is to 
divide and thus weaken the people opposing him. ---- The security forces have continued to 
harden their work for years - the list of wounded and maimed-es-es by firing rubber 
bullets and other weapons "non-lethal" is too long to reproduce - and this accentuation 
coercion is not due to chance but rather reflected the will of the State to submit the 
whole society to the interests of employers (hyperflexibility, attacks against social 
welfare and living standards, big useless projects ... ). Police still responsible for 
maintaining order, but it must now do so with increasing brutality and a new logistics so 
jump obstacles to economic libertarian line. This is to terrorize anyone between rebels 
and fighting; convinced that manifest as dangerous, better to stay at home while 
undergoing; contain conflict in "civilian" forms, so compatible with the existing company 
(commissions of inquiry, institutional mediation-the-s ...). In this logic, the banning of 
demonstrations, either in solidarity with Gaza and the memory R?mi Fraisse, participates 
in the strangulation of social resistance and silencing the expression of movement in general.

If we do not learn the lessons of what is happening, the death of R?mi Fraisse can have 
serious consequences on the struggles of Testet and Notre-Dame-des-Landes - but also many 
others, such as riots in cities or strikes in companies. Indeed, soon after, a split 
occurred within these two mobilizations, based on the selected modes of intervention to 
show a determination not to yield to repression. This cleavage is a step back from the 
post-event from February 22 to Nantes: the state had then strained the same trap the 
anti-airport movement, prompting him to denounce the "thugs" and to dissociate " good 
protesters "but this movement had the foresight not to fall in; he instead stressed that 
any social struggle is conducted by various components through various means of action.

These dissensions advantage in power: instead Valls raises the indignation daring to 
mention the insult that may be made in memory of R?mi Fraisse by "thugs", failover occurs 
in a few days in the opinion by the charges politicians and the media against their 
violence allows him to re-evoke the implementation of airport projects in 
Notre-Dame-des-Landes and dam Testet - adding, in an attempt to reconcile the "anti" as 
the "pro", which must still wait until the current proceedings concerning them. The 
abandonment of these projects is so far from being achieved.

Against all political and media manipulation and recovery, we must stress that the 
denunciation of "police brutality" is not enough, because it is a state that is violence: 
the brutal action forces the order is still its response to revolts that these are the 
work of students, employee-es, antinuclear of zadistes or people of immigrant origin. This 
offensive class is conducted at specific times of the anti-social policies, to all those 
who react against the measures taken daily against the poor (in terms of income, housing, 
social control ...) and make a note of criticism production model fighting for another 
lifestyle. For all these reasons, it can not exist without antir?pressive fight 
anti-capitalist struggle.

In fact, the figure of R?mi Fraisse is a lie to the presentation by the government and the 
media are outraged-as necessarily "thugs": it shows that, faced with such a policy and 
such a society, even a " non-violent "can only mean their demise! So to resist state 
violence, establish together the right balance of power!
