The administrative court authorized the holding of a demonstration of the royalist movement in homage to Joan of Arc. An order from the police prefecture prohibited this gathering.
The French Action demonstration scheduled for Sunday morning in front of the statue of Joan of Arc in Paris will be able to take place. The administrative court of Paris has indeed suspended, at the beginning of the evening Saturday, May 13, an order of the police headquarters which prohibited this gathering.
This is the second decision of the day going in this direction. A little earlier on Saturday, the interim judge had in fact also suspended the ban on a symposium organized by the royalist movement in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The far-right group had rejoiced over the social networks of this “victoire”giving an appointment at 2.30 p.m. for this meeting on the theme of “France in danger”. The organization had seized the administrative justice of an interim release, an emergency procedure when the applicant considers to be in the presence of a “serious and manifestly illegal interference” to a fundamental freedom on the part of a State service.
The appeal of the small group “The Nationalists” rejected
The police headquarters confirmed to France Télévisions to take note of the suspension decision rendered by the court. On Friday, it banned a total of six rallies organized by the far right scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Paris, including this conference and four demonstrations. It had published decrees, after a circular from the Minister of the Interior aimed at prohibiting several “ultra-right demonstrations and rallies”. Gérald Darmanin had reacted to the controversy linked to the demonstration in Paris, on May 6, of ultra-right activists, mostly with their faces hidden and wearing Celtic crosses.
The administrative court, on the other hand, rejected the appeal of the small group classified on the far right, Les Nationalistes by Yvan Benedetti, who also challenged the ban on a rally on Sunday. Her rally was to take place at the same time as the Action Française demonstration.
A march by the military association “Place d’armes” was also banned. Just like a sixth demonstration, of “yellow vests”, which was to take the same route as that of the soldiers of “Place d’armes”.
