The protest spreads to the West Indies, Austria reconfines and the OL-OM fiasco

Did you miss the early morning news? We have concocted a recap to help you see more clearly.

A second protest front will open up in the West Indies where the situation is explosive. A call for a general strike was indeed launched in Martinique, from Monday. Signed by 17 unions, the notice details ten points of demands, including the end of the vaccination obligation and suspensions for caregivers, but also the increase in wages and social minima. This list also includes requests for fuel and gas prices. Anger is also very great in Guadeloupe. To cope with the violence, reinforcements of police and gendarmes sent from mainland France, in particular 50 members of the GIGN and the Raid, arrived there on Saturday evening. Sunday, the dismantling of roadblocks could begin but the rectorate had to announce the suspension on Monday of the reception of students in schools, colleges and high schools.

Since the vaccines were made available to as many people as possible, no country in the European Union had dared to take the step of re-containment. But, with the rebound of the Covid-19 epidemic, Austria will wake up locked up this Monday morning. Since midnight, the country has indeed been officially confined. This radical measure also aroused the anger this weekend of the Austrians, but also that of the populations of several European countries such as Belgium or the Netherlands.

For Jean-Michel Aulas, the spectator in question is no less than an “asshole”. It must be said that the president of OL is particularly upset after an individual, since in police custody, threw a bottle of water at Dimitri Payet, while he was about to hit the first corner of the meeting (0-0, 4th). As a result, the OL-OM match turned pathetic on Sunday night. After nearly two hours of imbroglio, the meeting finally stopped in the 5th minute of play. A very heartbreaking record.
