it was today in France
Some 200,000 demonstrators gathered at the start of the Place de la République in Paris, to mark their opposition to the controversial bill known as "global security", as well as to protest against police violence.
Article 24 of the "comprehensive security" law, which provides for strict supervision of the dissemination of images of law enforcement agencies, is deemed to be liberticidal and ultra-safe for many protesters.
The demands are strong, while last week migrants were beaten and journalists molested, during the evacuation of a camp on the same Place de la République.
Emotion, also, following the assault of Michel Zecler, a Parisian music producer beaten up by the police, made public in a video that overwhelms the police.
Journalists, lawyers, observers of civil society, citizens, political representatives… All have called for the withdrawal of this security text so that journalists can continue to exercise their work freely, but also so that citizens can also continue to be active witnesses to police abuses.
Beyond undermining these freedoms, there is indeed the fear that police violence will now be overlooked.
The text, adopted by the National Assembly, will now have to be examined in the Senate.
