Paris – The April 6 demonstration had already moved for half an hour when I found the Rémy Buisine. The 32 -year -old video journalist by French Online Media Outlet Brut had given me his location live, but he did not yet wear his press armband with neon yellow and, given his outfit (a light puffy jacket and blue jeans), he mixed with the crowd – which was 57,000 to 400,000 people, depending on whether you believe in the police or in the organizers. Buisine found me, in fact: he shouted my name with a smile on his face, before returning to business, asking a colleague to go on the back of the walk.
Buisine has become, for millions of people around the world, THE EID on recent French events. The demonstrations concerned the origin of the pension reforms proposed by President Emmanuel Macron in January – The main bonding point was the potential increase in the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 years – and the first steps were largely made up of people of average age of union. However, on March 16, when the government forced the reform bill without a vote, more than 6,000 people presented themselves, without formal planning, in place of Paris de la Concorde. This crowd, mainly under the age of 30, was indigenous by what they considered as the government's anti-democratic actions.
Almost every evening, during the following two weeks, the French gathered in the street in what the media called “spontaneous” or “wild” demonstrations. “I saw many young people introduce themselves,” said Buisine, “and many, who had never set foot in a demonstration.”
The live flows of boxwood from the front fronts in tears of demonstrations lasted up to eight o'clock, with 70,000 people attentive to Brut Tiktok up to a stream. During the last month, the point of sale tiktok won a million followers – it now has 4.2 million – thanks in large part to its flows. (Buisine also diffuses Facebook And the raw application.) And its scope is international: fans constantly call it to speak English, but boxwood does not know how to say much beyond that it diffuses “Live in Paris”.
While we are heading forward in demonstrating the day, Buisine used one of her two phones (a company, a personal) to take photos of the demonstrators for the demonstrators for the Instagram gross account. During the half hour, we had been together, six fans or peers came to say hi, including a voluntary doctor who asked for boxwood when he begins his diffusion. “Soon soon,” said Buisine, stopping only momentarily.
