The demonstration turned into a riot in the Place de la Concorde, resulting in 12 civilian casualties, one death among the police and more than 2,000 injured that same evening.

Six other civilian victims died as a result of their injuries a few days later, bringing the total number of deaths on February 6, 1934 to 19.

The crisis of February 6, 1934, was one of the bloodiest demonstrations of the Third Republic since the Fourmies shootings in 1891. Further violent demonstrations-with new victims on the side of the demonstrators-occurred on February 7, 9 and 12. The death toll from police repression reached 30 for all of these demonstrations.

📖 The February 6 1934 crisis

The stuff happening in the oil depot near Marseille is very important. Gvt wants to force some people to go back to work and send cops to break the blockade. But this is one of the most radical CGT federation. This federation was very clear a month ago. Threatening directly the authorities to burn the region if they force people to work. It's perceived by syndicalist as war declaration.

Macron seems to have a very strange strategy. Looks more and more like he wants a stronger conflict. He do nothing to appease people, he is pouring oil on the flame. Any analysis about this sort of strategy ?
