“4 police officers take out [d’une médiathèque] a man whose only crime is not to have his shame pass! The law is not even adopted yet that the repression has already taken off ”,“ So, it is not beautiful the world after? Police officers expel a man from a media library because he does not have a health pass ”…
The indignant comments multiply, on Facebook and Twitter, in reaction to a video of about twenty seconds showing a man accompanied by four municipal police officers towards what appears to be the exit of such an establishment, in absolute silence.

The scene, which particularly shocks the opponents of the health pass, is authentic: it took place at the BFM media library (French-speaking multimedia library) in Limoges (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), as confirmed by the municipality in 20 minutes.
FAKE OFF
“It happened yesterday, a person came to the media library and refused the health pass control that we apply since its entry into force”, indicates the city, libraries and other media libraries included among cultural establishments accommodating at least 50 people where the health pass is required since July 21.
“This gentleman forced entry, the manager then intervened to try to reason with him but he did not want to hear anything. There were people at the BFM at that time so the director called in the municipal police, who took the person out in a calm atmosphere, ”adds the municipality of Limoges, which regrets the incident while it had “very quickly informed the public on the terms of access [aux lieux culturels] after the latest government announcements ”.
Failing to force passage, visitors passing through the media library on the day this restriction entered into force did not hide their dissatisfaction with this restriction, as they then confided to our colleagues from France Bleu. To the dismay of the media library, which explained at the same time receiving “emails [d’habitants nous disant] that they will no longer set foot at the BFM as long as there is the sanitary pass ”.
