Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of Overseas Territories and Olivier Véran, Minister of Solidarity and Health, denounce "the cowardly and violent aggression of which the security agents of the Martinique University Hospital were victims after being sprayed in the face with caustic soda by protesters. The violence against the staff of the CHU of Fort-de-France has reached a new level, ”they denounce in a press release sent to the press on Friday morning.
Last Thursday, while the new director of the CHU of Fort-de-France officially met the union representatives, against the backdrop of a challenge to the vaccination obligation and the health pass, "about thirty demonstrators tried to disrupt the meeting", relates the press release.
Six security guards were injured in the altercation, which took place at the hospital site. Officers were sprayed in the face with caustic soda. The victims were taken care of immediately in the emergency room, but “it is to be feared that their visual acuity cannot be restored”, deplore the ministers. Legal action is underway.
“The ministers send their most sincere wishes for recovery to the victims and more broadly their full support for the agents of the CHU of Fort-de-France, regularly exposed to the violence of a minority whose claims cannot justify such acts” writes the ministry._AF
