Guadeloupe is experiencing a wave of violence on the sidelines of the general mobilization against the health pass and the vaccination obligation of caregivers. In live from Pointe-a-Pitre, Laura Sene, journalist in Guadeloupe la 1st explains the situation there.
Laura Sene, journalist in Guadeloupe the 1st, explains that almost all the roads in the department are blocked by roadblocks by the demonstrators. This mobilization does not only concern Pointe-à-Pitre. Indeed, other large towns in the department are blocked by the general strike.
During the night of Thursday to Friday, acts of violence were recorded in Pointe-à-Pitre. Friday November 19, the vestiges of the previous night are still visible. Burnt-out cars are still in the middle of the road, forcing motorists to slalom between them to pass. In order to avoid further overflows, the prefect has set up a curfew of 6 p.m. To 5h in the morning. However, the effectiveness of this measure is not guaranteed. Based on Laura’s information Sene, the installation of a dam in another important city of the region would be to be feared.
