They blocked the voting booths, eight young people arrested in a polling station

The day of Emmanuel Macron’s second election will remain that of their first police custody. Eight young people, aged “20 to 25 years old” and hitherto unknown to the police, played the troublemakers on Sunday in a polling station in Toulouse, located rue des Gais-Pinsons, in the Saint-Cyprien district. It was voters who warned the police around 4 p.m., after being prevented from accessing the voting booths by these demonstrators.

The latter, judging by the signs they wore around their necks, were protesting against the limited alternative offered by the second round between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. “Democracy is dead,” they notably claimed from a police source.

The young people, placed in police custody for undermining the smooth running of the voting operations, refused to speak during their police custody. Released on Monday morning, they will be summoned in May to be the subject of a criminal composition.
