Saturday, September 24, 2022 gave rise to a new chapter of Saint Michael’s Day In Toulouse. Or rather… bickering between the town hall and the fairgrounds, yet gathered around the same table at 11:30 a.m., at the Capitol. But then the evening went restless.
Two attempts at force
It was around 9 p.m. that fairground vehicles, 11 in number, wanted to force themselves into the parking lot of the Zénith. Symbol of destiny: it was here that had been produced the last feast of Saint-Michel, the… September 24, 2021. However, 365 days later, it was not the people of Toulouse who hosted the rides, but a police device deployed on site, authorized any installation, according to a police source. And when the engines tried to do the same feat, this time in the city center: same result, they were intercepted by the police.
The tension reigns
Voltage is therefore more than palpable, while this meeting with the town hall, Saturday morning, gave hope that common ground between the Capitol and the fairgrounds could be found. The outcome does not seem to have pleased the seconds, who have therefore decided to attempt forceful moves, without success for the moment.
Still according to this police source, the showmen planned, at the end of this meeting, to do some brilliant actions during the coming week, after the device crashes launched on Friday, September 16, 2022. A scenario that seems take a little more relief with the facts of Saturday evening. Contacted by Toulouse news, the showmen have expressed their desire not to communicate.
The blockages have been lifted since Tuesday
As a reminder, the blockages of the Toulouse ring road had been lifted on Tuesday, September 20, when the showmen had obtained an appointment with the Capitol, first fixed for the next day at 11:30 am. Ultimately, it’s Saturday, September 24, at the same timethat a delegation of showmen was received by Jean-Luc Moudenc.
