Martinique was affected by a night of violence and breakage, from Sunday 21 to Monday 22 November. Some members of the security forces were particularly targeted by gunfire from demonstrators.
The streets of some towns in Martinique are marked by tires and vehicles on fire, after clashes between the police and demonstrators took place, during the night of Monday, November 22. In Fort-de-France, some police officers were targeted: the vehicles received several shots from firearms. “While moving around, the colleagues were shot “, explains Thierry Baucelin, territorial secretary of Alliance police nationale.
After leaving the vehicle, the police were able to see the damage. An investigation has been opened for attempted murder of a person holding public authority. The situation, which has degenerated, shocks residents. “This is unacceptable, the police are there to do their job, they are not there to be threatened or to be attacked“Says a resident. Significant acts as roadblocks are present on the roads and unions march through the streets.
