In Lilas, Romainville, Pantin and Noisy-le-Sec, a relatively calm night
Everyone takes selfies, including the firefighters. So they are very happy to see a journalist land on the construction site of the future Serge-Gainsbourg station in Les Lilas (Seine-Saint-Denis). Under the lens, they strike a pose at the foot of the Algeco stacked on three floors and completely charred.
They have just finished bringing the fire under control. They are relieved, just like the police who devour fast food menus in their car. It is time for break. It is also the break for the company of CRS intervened on the spot, but they are more tense. “We arrived at 3 a.m. and it took us an hour to regain control of the area”whispers a young woman, annoyed by ” bullshit “ which forced them to fight to open a path for firefighters.
In addition to the Algecos, the ” bullshit “ consisted of various damage and fires. On the other side of the city, towards the municipal swimming pool, the owner of a utility van will find his vehicle completely charred. A claim was tagged on a concrete block: “For Nahël, Friday the 30th”.
In Romainville (Seine-Saint-Denis), it was a scooter store in the Trois-Communes district that was stormed. The municipal police managed to rescue the owner of the walls who was trying to defend his property. Reached by SMS at 5 a.m., the mayor of the city, François Dechy (Various left), said he was very afraid that the evening would be as hectic as the day before and the day before after a vehicle fire started from 6:20 p.m. “But the night was quieter afterwards”reports the mayor.
In Pantin, the Hoche metro district was generally spared this night. If it were not for the carcass of the tourist bus which burned in the night from Thursday to Friday, it would be impossible to guess that violent clashes and looting took place there twenty-four hours earlier.
In Noisy-le-Sec, it is another equally charred silhouette of a coach in front of the Olympe-de-Gouges high school which, again, recalls the violence of the previous day. A car wreck lies on the side. A heap of still smoking rubble shows that the night was not quite peaceful.
