A journalist of M6 was hit "standing and on the ground" Tuesday in Nimes. He is currently suffering from "many blows and multiple bruises," according to the Occitanie Press Club.

The town hall has decided to close until further notice a municipal media library because of the aggravation of violence related to drug trafficking. The prosecutor of Nîmes has opened a "preliminary investigation" into the facts concerning the media library and an "investigation of flagrance" for those of which the journalist was a victim.
