Anti-CPE Movement: Dijon, 22nd March 2006

With a banner proclaiming, "They want to put us out on the streets, now it's your turn!" a group of around 40 masked intruders entered the offices of MP Jean Marc Nugant in Dijon and, to the surprise of passers by, removed most of the office furniture, equipment and plants out on to the pavement in front of the building. After the symbolic eviction, the protesters peacefully left the scene of their action.
