(en) Alternative Libertaire AL - Murder of R?mi Fraisse - a
state crime (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
The murder of Remi Fraisse is a state crime that is part of a terrorist management
challenge. Back on the situation in Toulouse. ---- Qualify the murder of State crime does
not only refer to the conditions under which it was committed. It is also a question of
political treatment. We know that the government lied 1: gendarmes knew immediately that a
grenade had killed R?mi Fraisse. This did not prevent the prefecture and the Ministry of
Interior to evoke a "body discovered" as if the reasons for death were not obvious. They
hoped to hide the cause of death? Certainly. The next phase was therefore to justify the
killing. Cazeneuve and stated that "without the rioters R?mi Fraisse would not have died."
Denial of facts, denial of responsibility and designation of victims of repression as
authors of this: all the ingredients of State crime together.
Breaking the challenge
This murder arouses anger and demonstrations are organized. What is the government? It
represses. But beyond that, it is to maintain order in a context of austerity policies and
avoid at all costs an extension of the dispute. In Toulouse demonstration was organized on
November 1st. Police targeted testing takes place in the subway, a helicopter flies over
the city and an impressive police operation is set up. Inevitably, preventing people to
protest, the police escalate things: gassing, clubbing, arrests. The same tactic was set
up on November 8, but this time with a "psychological preparation" police spend in shops
to say that "it's gonna be hot," the subway is closed, the Prefecture banned the
demonstration by evoking "caches weapons ". The strategy of the police and the government
is clear: stifle dissent by fear and cut the protesters of the population through
propaganda extensively covered by the media, branding them "thugs" as opposed to "good
demonstrators."
Refuse police division
This strategy reached its peak on November 22 when the prefecture succeeded in imposing a
demonstration course in the morning, separate rally planned at 15h by Zad31 collective. An
organizing group falls into the trap (Left Front, Postal code, FSU, Solidaires, etc.).
This division allows a legitimization of the repression of the gathering 15h. The latter
which brought together nearly 1,500 people against 400 in the morning was again violently
suppressed. Hopefully "organizations in the morning" retain the lesson for the next time
and understand once and for all that the "thugs" division / "nice" is a strategy that
obeys police purposes.
