On Sunday, January 21, a protest took place against the immigration law of Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin at Garibaldi Square in Nice.
This Sunday, according to the organizers, a thousand demonstrators gathered against the Darmanin law. During this protest, flags of the CGT union were seen. It was supported by left-wing parties such as LFI, CFDT, and PCF06, as well as by associations like Emmaus and Roya Citoyenne.
After the last protest in December 2023, the collectives are coming together for new demonstrations against the immigration law. Four days before the decision of the Constitutional Council, mobilizations are planned in France. Defined as a “shameful law,” the collectives are opposing the immigration law, which was passed in Parliament last December.
The Disrupted Protest
Members of Aquila Popularis, about twenty young people from the far right, disrupted the protest. Aquila Popularis is an activist community rooted in the Nice region. The opponents displayed a banner with the description “Ours before Others.” The anti-Darmanin protesters gathered in front of them, chanting “everyone hates the fascists.” The police quickly intervened to disperse them.
