The interior of the chapel after the fire
The fire in the Chapel of St Michael's Church is of criminal origin. This is suggested by a section of the northern votes. "According to testimony, told the newspaper , two youths were seen fleeing the church" . On my way back to the scene this morning, I met the priest of the church in which I asked what had happened. It told me that "was set on fire at church," confirming the intentional nature of the act. He also confirmed that police would investigate.
access to the chapel where the faithful gathered to pray every night, is now prohibited by plastic strips installed by firefighters. The Shrine, where there is a strong smell of burning, a spectacle of desolation. Its floor is littered with mud mingling and charred ashes. Its walls are blackened by smoke from the fire. The chapel is now unusable.
Apparently, the fire could be linked to the events of the day. Meanwhile, skirmishes broke out near the place Philip the Good, which is situated the church. Far-left demonstrators provoked repeatedly CRS and were beginning a game of hide and seek with them. These clashes were strong enough for the boss of the Matignon Bar at the corner of the square and the Rue Nicolas Leblanc, decides to return its terrace.
The left-wing demonstrators, who were also at the place of Sebastopol and the Rue des Postes, had clearly intended to sack once again the permanence of the UMP in the Rue Solferino. We remember that during demonstrations against the CPE, the district had remained several days under siege. The windows of the permanence of the UMP were systematically smashed by vandals. The church could have been a "consolation prize".
Anyway, the neighborhood was once again the costs of insecurity and political violence regular who moved to Lille and the region. For several years, in fact, the leftists with impunity increasing attacks against people or against buildings without being troubled by the law. Fire is the fact "young" or idle "young" activists, once again, these abuses have arisen in our street.
