Wagenburglers’ End

As expected, all the Wagenburglers had not left by August 1. The police were just waiting for an escalation of the situation to move in and them out. About twenty left-autonomous troublemakers offered the opportunity at 1 a.m. last night when they started to erect barricades at the entrance to Vauban and set fire to them.

At 5:40 a.m., forty police persons arrived with heavy clearing gear. They started lifting the sit-in and then moved on, tearing down the remaining unoccupied rotten trailers and rusted buses.

Her first engagement? This girl looks terrified.

The Sambastas were back alright with shiny new drums and made an accompanying noise.

At 7:45 a.m., garbage collectors arrived and started cleaning the place.

Later, barriers were moved in to avoid a return of the Wagenburglers to the lot. One positive note at the end. It seems that nobody was hurt.
