Emmanuel Macron is in Lyon, Monday May 8, to honor the memory of Jean Moulin and the Resistance. On the spot, the police force is important. We take stock with the journalist Guillaume Daret, in duplex from the capital of Gaul.

Monday May 8, on the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the 1945 armistice, Emmanuel Macron will travel to Lyon (Rhône) to pay tribute to Jean Moulin. “Possible demonstrators will be kept at a safe distance. […] Justice rejected, this morning, the appeal of the CGT against the ban on demonstrations near the [mémorial national de la prison de Montluc]“, explains Guillaume Daret, live from Lyon, Monday, May 8. He makes it known that “some politicians consider that this is neither the place nor the day to do that“.

“An emblematic place”

In Lyon, Emmanuel Macron will more particularly pay tribute to Jean Moulin, who was detained in Montluc prison. The journalist says that “Marc Bloch” And “the children of Izieu‘” were also imprisoned on this site.”[C’est] an emblematic place since in 1983, after his arrest, Klaus Barbie, head of the local Gestapo during the Second World War, was symbolically imprisoned here for a week“, specifies Guillaume Daret. Emmanuel Macron is expected at 2:30 p.m. in Lyon. The Head of State should praise the “spirit of resistance, specific to the French people“.
