The ban
the latest ban a demonstration organized by unions dates back to February 8, 1962. This mobilization was organized to denounce the “fascism” and promote “peace in Algeria,” came a day after ten attacks committed in Paris by the Secret Army Organization, to intellectuals, Communist Party members, journalists and the Minister of Culture, André Malraux. This wave of violence led the Left parties and six trade unions, including the CGT, organize a gathering place de la Bastille in Paris. But under the state of emergency, declared April 21, 1961, all demonstrations on public roads is in principle prohibited.
What happened
To work around the ban, protesters choose the formula of static peaceful gathering. But the security forces are given strict instructions from the chief of police of Paris, Maurice Papon, and police repression is violent. Near the metro station Charonne, nine people died, crushed by the crowd wanting to escape the police batons. The CGT branch of Publicis recently alluded to this sad episode by publishing on Twitter a panel of photo instead of 8 February 1962 located in Gentilly (Val-de-Marne).
