Une manifestation était organisée, dans la matinée de ce samedi 17 février, devant la mairie d’Alès. Environ 120 personnes y ont participé.

Their mobilization is long-term. This Saturday, February 17, at mid-morning, once again, a rally was organized in front of the town hall of Alès to demand, among other things, a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where fighting is raging between Israel and Hamas for five months.

On the square in front of the town hall, a string of portraits of killed civilians was exhibited, to emphasize that, on the spot, they are "faces, not just numbers& quot;. "We have quite a bit of equipment this time", attacked Salima Mellah, of the France Palestine Solidarité association, in front of some 120 people. "All this must be carried during the event and above all, afterwards, it would be good to have help to bring everything back to Prolé, for next week."

A walk, and a planned action

In the process, she read the press release from her association already released eight days ago, "a little updated", explaining that on February 10, "we ;rsquo;was not numerous". During the speeches that followed, the "massacre" of civilians was once again denounced, while, it was estimated, "the West protests weakly".

After the march, an action was planned in front of a major retail chain, located in the heart of the city, to call for a boycott of products coming from Israel and denounce "complicit companies& ;quot;.
