Questioned by the town hall, the gluers of Roanne will not be prosecuted

The prosecutor is formal. ” Pasting a poster on a wall support does not constitute degradation “, he believes. After having skewered three on the streets of Roanne (Loire) in December, the feminist ragers, who denounce sexist and sexual violence as well as femicides, were questioned by the municipality, which wanted to press charges against them.

“My body is not responsible for your violence”

The first collage states “If you touch one we will all answer”. The second one “to yield is not to consent”. While the third proclaims: “My body is not responsible for your violence”. These messages have been pasted in three different places: two on the walls overlooking a garden and a car park, and one on the window of a Camaïeu store which has been permanently closed.

The Splicers have been identified on city surveillance cameras, as reported Mediapart. One of them, Michèle, 64, was later received by the deputy mayor in charge of security, Edmond Bourgeon, as part of an investigation by the local criminal justice system. He then asks her about the cost of cleaning the city services. Invoice amount: 1070€. Also he repeatedly asks her to give the names of her two “accomplices”which she refuses.

No damage to the wall

Finally, the prosecutor made his decision. For the moment we are awaiting payment of the invoice and no legal action will be taken. ” In my opinion, and after checking the legal texts and the jurisprudence, the degradation is not sufficiently characterized. It cannot be said that the walls have been degraded because the removal of the posters has not damaged the wall. After the glue was removed, the wall mount looked the same as before “, concluded the Public Prosecutor.
