Dam: New action by Nou Las Palé on the RN1 this Tuesday, kilometres of traffic jams - Overseas

On October 20, significant traffic jams formed on the RN1 highway heading towards Pointe-à-Pitre due to a barricade set up by members of the collective Nou Las Palé at Moudong Nord, near the Bel-Air high school. The barricade disrupted traffic severely, with several trucks blocking the road and vehicle lines extending to Arnouville, Petit-Bourg. Additional barriers prevented vehicles from entering or exiting the Moudong area. Local authorities and protesters agreed to allow a few cars through every fifteen minutes, but progress remained extremely slow. This action marks the seventh day of protests by Nou Las Palé, which began on October 14 against rising living costs and economic and social challenges in Guadeloupe. Protesters claim they have been denied meetings with local officials despite presenting their movement as legitimate. They demand a state commission to address these issues. Members of the group highlight financial struggles faced by households, workers, and business owners, including high fuel and insurance costs and prolonged water shortages affecting elderly residents. They argue that these problems affect all segments of society and call for dialogue rather than对立.

17 October: the mass mobilization against the dear life overshadowed by burglars and looters

On October 17th, a large-scale protest against rising living costs took place in France, but the event was overshadowed by incidents involving vandals and looters. The demonstration, which aimed to address concerns over inflation and cost-of-living issues, faced challenges as some participants turned to destructive behavior, leading to property damage and theft.
