Paris-Sana
The French authorities imposed a curfew between six in the evening and five in the morning in the province of Guadeloupe, after widespread and violent protests, including the closure of roads, the burning of buildings and vehicles, and the closure of schools, in refusal to impose a health certificate on vaccination against the Corona epidemic.
And the French press agency quoted the Governor of Guadeloupe, "Alexander Rochat", as saying in a statement today: "The curfew will remain in effect until the 23rd of this month in light of the continuous movements and acts of sabotage in the province."
Earlier, the French government decided to send two hundred police officers to support the security forces in the province with the increase in violence, as new barriers were set up yesterday evening in the “Pas Terre” quickly removed by the police and the demonstrators re-erected them, while firefighting teams said that four buildings in the city, which includes many wooden houses It caught fire at night after looting.
Five days ago, a group of unions and civil organizations in Guadeloupe called for protests against the health certificate and the obligation to vaccinate medical staff.
Guadeloupe is an island belonging to France found in the Leeward Islands group located in the Lesser Antilles, which extends in the form of an arc between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
