French victory. Scenes of clashes spoil the party in Annecy, an unconscious evacuee
On the sidelines of France’s victory against Morocco this Wednesday, December 14, the party was totally ruined in Annecy.
The national law enforcement police officers were in action on rue Vaugelas. A hooded group harangued and sought confrontation while throwing metal poles (street furniture) at the crowd.
After violently hitting his head on the ground during a fight that broke out between a small group of hooded individuals and other supporters, a man, unconscious on the ground, was taken care of by firefighters. The SAMU dispatch medical team did not have to intervene.
Reassuring news from the man in his twenties evacuated by the firefighters has reached us. Hospitalized for a head trauma, his vital prognosis is not engaged.
At midnight in front of Annecy station, around 150 people were still present. A handful of French and Moroccan flags still waved at times to the sound of “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor and “Bring the Cup Home” by Vegedream, under the eye of a dozen national police officers in uniform of maintaining order. Some positive notes after the unfortunate excesses due to a dozen vindictive individuals who quickly disappeared after the violent fall of a man to the ground, at the corner of rue Vaugelas and rue de la Gare. The tension has subsided but many Annecy residents have returned home with a feeling of waste and sadness.
