A new anti-retirement demonstration is scheduled for June 6. Many traders fear possible overflows, particularly in Lyon, because the demonstrations have done a lot of damage.
Almost like it was yesterday. In the Saxe-Gambetta district in Lyon (Rhône), the scars of the May Day demonstration have still not disappeared. Windows smashed, supermarket doors riddled with stone impacts, a real estate agency has not reopened. While waiting for the reports of insurance experts, Éric Ziegler is working from home, he is still very shocked. “We are upset, it’s very hard. But people don’t realize what they’re doing. It’s lamentable”deplores the real estate negotiator.
Difficulties in getting compensation
A month has passed since the outbreak of violence and the record degradations of May Day. Ransacked stores, scenes of looting, a climate of insurrection in the middle of the street, unheard of in Lyon, since the start of the movement protesting the pension reform. That day, Fabienne Martin tried, in vain, to defend her shop. “It was hate, violence from the Blackblocks, it was a scene of war. A month later, I’m not cured, and I’m afraid for next week“, says the shopkeeper. The galley today, for this travel agency manager, it is good to be compensated. A turned upside down district, the inhabitants still live in the middle of the palisades.
