Police used water cannons against protesters in Paris

According to the BFM TV channel, protests are also taking place in Lyon, Lille, Nice, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Toulon, Dijon, Le Havre and many other cities. In fact, there were a total of 55 anti-Globalist demonstrations across France alone.

Few if any were reported by state-sponsored mainstream media. The same unseeing media, however, is covering tiny pro-protests in Russia in support of American sponsored anti-Putin radical Alexei Navalny.

PARIS, January 30: police used water cannons against protesters in Paris at Place de la République. A protest against the global security law began in the capital at approximately 13:00. 

The column of demonstrators proceeded along Republic Avenue to Republic Square, where the non-threatening demonstrators held a rally. 

About an hour before the start of the curfew, law enforcement officers asked the crowd to disperse, but several dozen people remained on the square, some of whom started throwing bottles and other objects at the police. The police responded with water cannons.

Earlier, the Autonomous Administration of Paris Transport (RATP) reported that in connection with the demonstrations, four metro stations in the immediate vicinity of Place de la Republique were closed in Paris from 11:00. ‘The stations will be reopened when the Paris police prefecture allows,’ the recorded message says.

Protests against the bill ‘On global security’ in France began at the end of last year. The demonstrators oppose Article 24, which provides for a heavy fine and prison punishment for those who post photos of police officers on the Internet, which clearly show their faces, and also provide their addresses and surnames. Critics of this document argue that it infringes on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

Native populations of the nations making up the European Union are waking up to the fact that community policing is dead in the water. From Spain to Finland, Britain to Poland, state police have no compunction about beating senseless, maiming and sometimes killing any who oppose EU regimes.  Source, translated and edited by Michael Walsh.
