The truth

What Mr. Pompidou didn’t say in that historic appearance was that everything was a lie, designed in the last minute by his government to hide a reality so brutal that nobody, ever, should know it. Never.

In the old parisienne neighborhood there weren’t any rioters, terrorist or armed groups, nor… it was something worse, an ancient horror that had been released… a monstrosity able to merge the world of the living and the dead.

During the next weeks, the metro and complete parts of the area were closed, and any attempt from the press to check the many inconsistencies of the official tale, were stopped instantly thanks to the “Law Montmartre”, (that was the name of all the extraordinary measures approved to hide all the event), which banned the presence of the press to avoid that relevant data could come to light, being a risk for France.

So nobody saw the soldiers with special suits recovering dozens of corpses full of bullets. Nor the military scientists taking samples. Nobody could saw the dozens of trucks coming out of the neighborhood, covered as delivery trucks and full of butched bodies, going to an unknown destination.

A few days later, the fact that the “protestors” didn’t had any wounded, only dead, or that the big majority were people without any relation with radical movements, the truth was that they were just normal people and with well paid jobs, totally the opposite of what the government was saying, or the fact that the people couldn’t access to the mortal remains of their families because the identification process was very complicated, ended with dozens of journalists and family members in jail. The government was using its iron fist with all his strength.

Not only that, the families of the deceased received a legal document, very complex, which exempted them from paying the estate millions in damages, but only if they refused to start any legal action or make any comment about what happened. If they accepted that, they’ll receive a huge compensation in their bank accounts, to palliate the problems of the bad state of the corpses of their families, caused by a fire started during the riots. They were in such a bad state that they couldn’t open, under any circumstance, the coffins, which will be sent sealed.

Soon the eye of the public moved to other matters: the classic affair of the leader of the opposition, a war in a colony or the next sport event, all of them managed to silence, with the help of the government, the voices that wanted answers about that weekend.
