Eric Zemmour’s promotional tour is causing more and more tension. This Saturday afternoon, while the far-right polemicist was going to hold a meeting at the Zenith in Nantes as part of the release of his new book, his arrival provoked the protest of several local collectives. Around 4 p.m., individuals clashed with the police present on the spot.
Several hundred opponents, responding to the call in particular of the collective “Nantes revolted”, managed to enter the enclosure of the Zenith, to block a door of the site and to force the gates. The police used tear gas to push back the anti-Zemmour who were facing, a hundred meters away, several dozen supporters of the polemicist, at the Atlantis car park, near the western ring road of Nantes.
