Press release of the citizens occupying the square of the La Defense.
Since november 4th, the district of La Defense has seen a move camp, the symbol of re‐ appropriation and occupation of public space by many Indignados citizens. A hundred people take turns in order to live this camp for 12 days, with the aim of building a more just and direct democracy.
This non‐violent citizens' initiative collides with a campaign of demoralization on the part of law enforcement officials who act on any legal basis. The camping equipment for protection against the cold and rain is systematically being confiscated and any construction, even temporary, is destroyed.
Illegitimate violence and daily humiliations inflicted by the police against occupants have reached a level of concern last monday :
‐ The police decided to implement a ban on paper, cardboard, food, closing access to the same people from the camp to meet the occupants and thus hindering the fundamental freedoms of movement and expression.
‐ At around midday an incident burst further to an attempt of introduction on the camp of paper rolls.During the scuffle, the police had used tear gas on a minor. Slovak nationals also wounded in the abdomen by a policeman and has been carry later by firefighters to the hospital resulting in a complaint of the Consulate of Slovakia.
‐ Seems to be aware of the absurdity and the total illegality of this slippage, the ban was then lifted, leaving the free movement of persons and equipment on the square of La Défense. The gendarmes refusing to apply the orders, it is the French riot police which made its appearance at the end of the day to relieve.
‐ Shortly before 10:00 pm, the occupants were victims of a new police charge without warning to destroy some of the equipment gone up during the day. This intervention has turned into a real looting, the police seized personal belongings and blankets stored in a part of camp. The excessive show of force took about twenty minutes, leaving some fifty people in an unbearable precarious conditions, causing highhealth risks and damaging to the dignity, health and physical integrity of those persons.
It should be noted that the camp has still not received a notice of eviction, and that the police have refused to submit the legal textson which were based interventions. A request addressed directly to the prefecture is still unanswered today.
The police harassment only reinforces the legitimacy of the occupation by the citizens determined to take responsibility and to resist non‐violently against a State that uses fascist methods unworthy of a democracy.
On Tuesday night, the camp has been in effect reducing violent again by the police who went to trample food and medicines.
Legal action outraged common‐es is underway to denounce these actions, all those affected by the abuse of power are invited to come forward. All information available on
