A chaotic scene unfolded on Tuesday during a municipal council meeting in Grenoble, France, when elected officials from the political group La France insoumise (LFI) and municipal police officers came into physical conflict. The confrontation occurred on the sidelines of the meeting and involved stickers supporting Palestine, which the LFI officials had brought to the event. These officials have long opposed an existing twinning agreement between Grenoble and the Israeli city of Rehovot. While the municipality claimed the agreement has been effectively suspended for several years, LFI officials disagreed with this assessment. According to the municipality, the LFI officials attempted to "force their way" into the council chamber, leading to a confrontation where police officers were "victims of violence and insults committed by elected officials," as stated in an official statement. However, Allan Brunon, the head of LFI at the Grenoble municipal council, claimed that his colleagues were "pushed," "grabbed by the neck," and had "their computers thrown to the ground." The Grenoble prosecutor's office confirmed that an investigation into the incident has been launched. Both sides have filed complaints. Five complaints were lodged by municipal police officers for alleged violence against public officials, while several LFI officials also plan to file their own complaints. Grenoble's mayor, Laurence Ruffin, who belongs to the Les Ecologistes party, stated that the police officers had not used any weapons and emphasized that the suspension of the council meeting was an unprecedented event. She described the incident as "particularly serious" and expressed concern over actions that undermine democratic processes. Allan Brunon denied the allegations of violence against the police officers, calling them "aggressive" and suggesting that the incidents were a result of the mayor's failure to control her "municipal militia." He also mentioned that a colleague suffered a wrist injury and that three officials were taken to the hospital. On the other side, five police officers filed complaints, and three of them were hospitalized as well. The incident has sparked calls for the mayor's resignation, with Clément Chappet, a municipal council member from the opposition party Les Républicains, stating that a "red line" had been crossed. He accused the mayor of being "jointly responsible for the chaos." In response, Laurence Ruffin mentioned "a deviation" and stated that she does not want "cooperation with people who can be violent in their methods." She emphasized that the municipal council should remain a democratic space for discussion, but the methods used must adhere to democratic principles. The session was postponed to Monday, October 5, after being suspended by late morning. In addition to the reported injuries, LFI announced that Kenza Doukhi, a municipal councilor, suffered a sprain and would be on work stoppage until October 20. Allan Brunon was also examined by a doctor, who noted pain in his forearm and a broken tooth. This incident follows a series of controversies involving LFI officials, including a previous situation where a DJ had to leave the stage after a demonstration by pro-Palestinian activists and LFI responding to a call for a boycott. Additionally, a video of Allan Brunon was posted on social media in which he threatened and insulted a merchant with a homophobic slur, for which he later apologized.
