The League of Human Rights (LDH) asked Saturday, January 29 the interruption “without delay” of the process of administrative dissolution of the “independent media revolted Nantes”, announced this week by Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. “The proliferation of the abusive use of administrative dissolution is currently part of a deliberate desire by the executive branch to intimidate and in some cases to silence the voices of political protest, curbing the freedom of association and the freedom of ‘inform”, denounces the LDH in a press release.
“If the freedom to inform knows legal limits, the first intervention of the judicial judge, the only constitutional guarantor of individual freedoms and independence, must remain the privileged way”, she adds, denouncing a “worrying step in the extension of a political tool of collective sanction that violates fundamental freedoms”.
The ultra-left collective is implicated for having called on January 21 for an undeclared demonstration “against the state, against the police”, which the interested parties refute, claiming to have called for demonstrations “against the far right”, while a royalist rally was taking place in commemoration of the execution of Louis XVI. During this demonstration, which brought together 600 people, the window of a Zara store was smashed and projectiles fired at the police who responded with tear gas canisters. “Down with the State, the cops and the fachos”, had chanted the demonstrators.
Gérald Darmanin argued that “Since the El Khomri law (Labour law), this de facto group constantly repeats calls for violence and this weekend against the State and the police”.
