Indignant reactions. Valérie Pécresse, Gérard Larcher or even Renaud Muselier criticized the irruption of opponents of the health pass in the hemicycle of the regional council of Guadeloupe. “No cause justifies violence!”, reacted the right-wing presidential candidate on Thursday, December 23, on Twitter. “All my support for Ary Chalus, president of Guadeloupe, whose regional council has been forcibly invaded by anti-health pass”, she added.

For his part, Gérard Larcher, the president of the Senate, “strongly condemns the violent eruption of opponents of the sanitary pass in an assembly where local democracy is exercised”. “All my support for the regional elected representatives and the president”, he also wrote on Twitter.
“This anti-democratic violence is condemnable and is not acceptable in the French Republic!” also estimated Renaud Muselier (ex-LR), president of the Pac region and deputy president of the Régions de France association. He also brought his “support” and his “solidarity” to Ary Chalus and to “all the elected officials” of the regional council.
All my support and solidarity with @ achalus971, and all the elected members of the Regional Council of #Guadeloupe, after this intrusion of #anitipass #antivax.

These demonstrators, who burst into the chamber on Thursday, then spent the night there. They intend to put pressure on elected officials so that they ask for the participation of the State in negotiations on the issues at the origin of the social crisis in Guadeloupe, with first and foremost the vaccination obligation. The protest has been raging for several weeks in the archipelago.
These negotiations have been suspended for two weeks. Protesters must decide on Friday what to do with the movement. Overseas Minister Sébastien Lecornu said on Twitter that“no claim justified hindering the smooth running of an assembly of elected officials in the middle of a plenary session”.
