    Pointe-à Pitre

    The director of the CHU of Guadeloupe and his two assistants had to be rescued by the police from their offices on January 4 from activists against mandatory vaccination of caregivers and firefighters, announced the management of the hospital.

    The administrative building of the CHU de Guadeloupe was besieged during the day and the management held as hostages before finally being “exfiltrated” by the police, explained the director general Cotellon. The rescue did not not go smoothly either.

    “I was assaulted with a punch in the ribs and a huge blow to the head, I lost consciousness for 10 seconds I think,” said Cotellon. His deputy Cédric Zolezzi also declared having been attacked during the rescue. “My shirt was torn off, I got urine on me as I was running towards a police car,” he said, adding that he was “shocked” by the events. Management has announced its intention to file a complaint.

    But this exfiltration did not give rise to arrests, because it was like a “rugby scrum” according to a police source, while the demonstrators were “rather calm” throughout the day. It is clear that authorities do not wish to draw more attention to the dissent against jabs by arresting the attackers in order not to further inflame the local population.

    “We came to claim the money we are owed,” explained Gaby Clavier, former secretary of the health branch of the UGTG union, present at the scene with the demonstrators. The latter demand the payment of the salaries of the suspended unvaccinated agents, following their refusal to comply with the vaccination obligation.

    The demonstrators left the scene in the early evening. This is not the first time that these administrative premises have been targeted as part of an anti-jab mobilization. At the end of 2021, several attacks on official buildings had already taken place and days of unrest had followed.

    According to the CHU, which is preparing for an influx of patients due to the resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic, 95 percent of staff members “meet the vaccine obligation”.

    FREEZING IN THEIR HOMES is the new grim reality for many Brits and Northern Europeans. Margaret is 92 years old and has just come in from the winter cold, but no warmth awaits her at home. She fears her own home more than the icy streets. Next to her are four thick blankets, and on the shelf above the fireplace, which she can no longer afford to buy wood for, is a meter showing the daily cost of electricity (inset). It shows £1.03, about 13 SEK. When it reaches £3, about 38 SEK, she is forced to turn off the little heat she has to afford it. Still image: ITW News

    Brits Forced to Live in Darkness and Cold

    Food prices are rising at a furious pace, fastest in Scotland in almost half a century. At the same time, energy prices are at record highs. People are forced to choose between freezing or going hungry, and a majority of Scots are forced to live in cold and darkness to cope with bills. Old generations' tricks for saving and keeping warm are returning. Nevertheless, it is feared that 10,000 Brits will die of cold homes this winter. We present the Swedish Public Health Agency's guidelines on indoor temperature. Governments in Europe are introducing rationing and monitoring of food purchases. Net-zero emissions are a lie that, in practice, de-industrializes the West and dramatically lowers our standard of living.
