The demonstration against the megabasins, thwarted by black blocks and clashes with the police on Saturday July 20, left after-effects in La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime).
On the morning of Sunday, July 21, the store opened its doors as usual. However, it bears the scars of the day before. On Saturday, during the anti-basin demonstration in La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime), rioters looted a supermarket that had opened only a month earlier in front of the managers. Local residents are there to support the stores. The city center bears the scars.
24 hours after the demonstration, the city centre bears scars, such as several tags. Some bus shelters have been damaged.I come to take the bus to go to the airport and go on holiday and I actually discover the damage. It is damaging because there is something to claim other than the damage“, says a resident. This type of damage is very rare in the city, but life is returning to normal in the middle of summer for La Rochelle.
