For the 4th Dijon rally against the so-called Global Security law, the mobilization is more modest on January 16. By mid-morning, nearly 300 people gathered in front of the Côte-d’Or prefecture. 80 similar gatherings were organized in France, notably in Mâcon and Auxerre.
“We are here today, as we were at the beginning of December, for the withdrawal of the Global Security Act, which seems to us to be setting the country on a dangerous and authoritarian path. We don’t want a police company, entrusts René Carruge, representative of the Marcel-Martinet circle of free thought in Dijon. We deplore in particular this article 24, which establishes a surveillance society for all professional categories, starting with journalists. “

A controversial law
“We are still worried about a certain number of freedoms “ challenged by this law, says Paul Garrigues, co-president of the Dijon section of the League of Human Rights (LDH). “We are particularly attentive to the restrictions on freedom of information and to demonstrate, and on the registration of demonstrators. To mention in police files syncidal membership or sexual orientation is absolutely scandalous!” he asserts.
