The FSU denounced Wednesday, June 7, "unacceptable violence of the police against the union processions", after clashes occurred in Paris and Lyon during the 14th day of mobilization against the pension reform.
In Paris, the FSU security service "was attacked for no reason during a police intervention against a demonstrator: totally gratuitous punch by a police officer against a member of the SO (security service), projection on the ground of another, blow to the leg against an activist," the union wrote in a statement. "In Lyon, the inter-union procession was also the subject of police charges of unprecedented violence, several activists are injured," he continues.

The FSU calls for the opening of an investigation and says it is waiting for "an expression from the government as to the excesses of policing practices observed against union services". "We will file a complaint," assured its secretary general Benoît Teste to AFP. "The prefect of police of Paris, having learned of the facts (Tuesday) evening after the dissemination of a video on social networks, immediately asked for a report to the official," was answered to the prefecture of police questioned by AFP. "An administrative investigation is opened," the same source added.
