The Gwadloup Kont Vyolans a Jandam Collective has criticized the use of force against high school and middle school students in Baimbridge and at the Moule in Guadeloupe. This group, made up of several unions, political parties, and organizations, released a statement on October 6 condemning what it calls harsh actions by the gendarmerie—France’s military police—near schools in those areas. The collective opposes the presence of law enforcement on school grounds and has called for a press conference to explain its stance. According to the press release, the group became concerned after seeing images of gendarmes and other law enforcement officers targeting young people. These incidents reportedly took place near the Baimbridge high school in Abymes and at the Moule, close to the Charles-de-Gaulle middle school. The collective described scenes of students being forcibly arrested, pushed to the ground, and subjected to what it views as excessive force for their age. The Gwadloup Kont Vyolans a Jandam Collective emphasized that no justification exists for such actions against minors. It strongly criticized these methods as "colonial" and warned the French government against any physical or mental harm to Guadeloupean youth. The statement also condemned the use of dogs to pursue students, linking the practice to the era of slavery. The group concluded by stating that Guadeloupe is not a "safari zone," a phrase suggesting that such forceful tactics are inappropriate and unwarranted in the region. The collective has scheduled a press conference for Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., at the Rémy Nainsouta Center in Pointe-à-Pitre. The group includes various organizations such as ANG, CGTG, CIPN, Combat Ouvrier, FKNG, Journal Rebelle, MIR, PCG, UGTG, and UPLG. At this point, the gendarmerie and the local prefecture have not officially commented on the allegations raised in the press release.
