On the night of November 18 to 19, 2023, Thomas, 16, was stabbed to death in Crépol (Drome), after a brawl on the sidelines of a village ball. A little over a year later, demonstrations in memory of the deceased young man, one initiated by the ultra-right, the other by left-wing organizations, could take place in Romans-sur-Isère on Saturday, if the we believe the decision of the Grenoble administrative court this Friday.
Risk of clashes?
According to France Bleu, the court overturned the prefectural decree prohibiting, this weekend, any demonstration in this sector, Valence, Bourg-de-Péage and Crépol that day. State services feared “possible disturbances on public roads”. “This recovery has been the subject of numerous propaganda, letters and public declarations for several weeks, raising fears of significant unrest and ideological clashes,” the prefecture said in a press release earlier in the week.
If one of the planned rallies is carried out, Place Hector-Berlioz around 2 p.m., by the anti-racist left – including the association “Collectif pour Novels”, the Association of Solidarity with All Immigrants and the CNT CCS Union of the Drome and Vaucluse – a static mobilization must follow at Place Ernest-Gailly, 2 km further, around 3 p.m. It will be led by the ultra-right collective “Justice for Ours”.
