"Should journalists stop monitoring certain facts or get used to acting in a standardised way and not informing the public? he wondered, concerned about the police persecution suffered by journalists during the G7 summit.

Several journalists have said that they have been "hampered" by their actions and that in some cases they have been considered suspects by the police. “Disproportionate controls, seizure of protective equipment, long and humiliating checks, unrecognised international press cards… testimonies and audio-visual tests support the reprehensible attitude of the security forces towards journalists,” he says. They have denounced that the Police has acted with total impunity.

The journalists in this house, who have travelled to the spot to follow up on the G7 counter-summit, have witnessed police persecution: they have been identified and paralysed on 11 occasions in roadside checks, they have required protective equipment, they have recorded cars and they have even been seized for a long time.

As the Trade Union is co-author of the “Guide for the Defense of Journalists”, they report that it will be in addition to any lawsuit filed against these facts.
