They could have chosen Deauville or Le Touquet, but it was in La Baule, a wealthy tourist resort in Loire-Atlantique, that they took out their signs. On Saturday afternoon, a “real fake right-wing demonstration” roamed the city to denounce social inequalities

At the call of the CGT, the FSU and Solidaires, this demonstration walked along the avenue Charles-de-Gaulle where there are many chic boutiques. About 400 people took part in the parody event, AFP journalists found.

Rain of counterfeit banknotes

Some demonstrators wore a top hat or were dressed as a grand bourgeois when others wore a mask bearing the image of Bernard Arnault, CEO of the world’s number one luxury LVMH, and threw counterfeit banknotes. Parodic and sarcastic slogans “And whose Medef is it? He is ours! », « The homeless go home » or « the police with us! were also chanted.
