Overseas Territories: Explosion of cases of contamination and acts of violence punctuate the daily life of Martinicans

Further degradation and acts of violence against the police were committed on Saturday July 31 in Fort-de-France.

At around 22 p.m., many individuals gathered on avenue Maurice Bishop despite the travel ban related to the incubator. Several buildings have been damaged, including the vaccination center in the city of Fort-de-France and shops. 5 vehicles were set on fire.

The security forces mobilized throughout the night had to use force to guarantee security and disperse the gatherings.

The prefect of Martinique Stanislas Cazelles strongly condemns this inadmissible violence, even though the territory is severely affected by an unprecedented health crisis with 686 new cases recorded in the space of 24 hours!

Investigations will be carried out to sanction the perpetrators. 3 suspected thugs have already been arrested.
