This is the third time that the Burgundians have decided to demonstrate against the “Global Security” law after December 5 and November 24. They were 300 this weekend in Dijon according to the police and 550 according to the organizers to rally Place Wilson in peace. Some tear gas was fired by the police to disperse the last demonstrators. Still, the crowd was less provided than the previous weekend since 2000 people had gathered.

The procession started from the judicial city at 2:30 p.m. The organizers wanted to reach Place Suquet, in front of the police station. But the prefecture prevented them and gave the order, Friday evening, that the demonstration does not cross the city center of Dijon. The prefect of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, Fabien Sudry wanted: “to preserve the safety of people and property and to avoid disruptions to business activity at this time of the year”. The organizers denounced “a new restriction on demonstrating”.

In the viewfinder of opponents of this law, article 24, which aims to prevent the “malicious” dissemination of videos of police officers. A restriction on the freedom to inform and freedom of expression according to the organizers. After two weekends of demonstrations, the leader of the LREM majority deputies, Christophe Castaner, finally announced that the article was going to be completely rewritten.
