Before the Bastille, in the afternoon, Sunday, November 22, there were only a few traces of gathering French people. The crowd of 500 people, defying the prohibitions of the state of emergency. This walk between the Bastille and Republic Square had been decided a long time as the culmination of the signing of a joint letter entitled "Migrants are welcome." Forty-six organizations, bringing together unions, associations and political parties, intended to participate. But that was before the attacks of November 13, before the establishment of the state of emergency. Once the Prefecture enacted its ban "on public roads demonstrations" until Monday, November 30th at midnight, some organizations have kept their signature to the text, but withdrew their appeal to parade this Sunday. That will change the state of emergency for citizens? First, some pro-migrant slogans rang out on the steps of the Opéra Bastille. A long banner demanding opening of borders has been deployed. Some refugees, some are undocumented, were there, happy that their rights are defended loudly under the autumn sun. Thirty policemen stationed themselves at a distance, as if to intimidate protesters. Their position was particularly strange, they found themselves not if they wanted to prevent the demonstrators to advance. From the outset the police therefore had a delay on well marchers decided to join the Republic Square. Yet they seemed safe, a few minutes before the train leaves, the demonstrators would rally to the prohibition of the police headquarters. Although, the first chants focused on the reception of refugees, very quickly, the confrontation with the police, tear gas and vapors took place. "Solidarity with the refugees" has turned into a "State of emergency, police state! It will not remove our right to demonstrate." The police first tried in vain to block the square of Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, but the group has eluded them. As in much of the Boulevard Beaumarchais. When they arrived to the Boulevard Des Filles-du-Calvaire, the police have given up then, riding in their trucks to have at least the consolation of reaching Republic Square before the procession. Evidence of that the IFOP poll published today by Le Journal du Dimanche, which shows a massive agreement of French society in the decisions of his government, but that does not mean a total unanimity. Republic Square, protesters were happy to have won the game. Some even suggested taking advantage of their advantage, they join the Jean Quarre high school, former squat in the 19th Arrondissement evacuated migrants in October as it remains a joke.
