Pressure on elected officials two days before the vote
Their objective was to “remind that people are on strike, that people are responsible for this situation” and to exert “pressure” on elected officials two days before the vote, he added. Garbage cans were thrown in front of the building. A source from the Renaissance party hailed AFP “the professionalism and responsiveness of the staff of the police headquarters” who intervened, denouncing “intimidation which has no place in a democracy”.
