00:00 While the candidates for the general elections are gradually taking over the field,

00:04 violent acts are beginning to be recorded.

00:07 Indeed, in a provincial tour for two days in the Ogué-Ivindo,

00:12 then in the Haut-Ougué, the presidential candidate,

00:15 Alexandre Barrault-Chambrier, saw his cause ripped apart

00:19 on Sunday, July 23, during the France-Ville stage.

00:23 Would the Haut-Ougué be hostile to the political personalities of the opposition

00:27 in this electoral period?

00:30 It is at least the feeling that could arise

00:32 in view of the acts of intimidation,

00:34 or even violence, recorded in recent days.

00:38 Thus, after Raymond Doncima, on July 20,

00:41 who saw one of his causes being disturbed by individuals,

00:45 it is the turn of the candidate Alexandre Barrault-Chambrier

00:48 to pay the price for his unnameable acts.

00:50 It was 4 p.m. when a dozen young people entered,

00:54 about 15 minutes after the start of the cause,

00:57 in the concession of the municipal elected representative of France-Ville,

01:00 Marcel Libama, host of the event.

01:03 According to the testimonies collected by Gabon Media Time,

01:07 some were chanting "Yahali, Yahali",

01:09 while other armies of Cayu and Gourdin

01:12 were clearly coming with the intention of unmasking them.

01:15 According to the spokesman of the National Assembly for the Motherland and Modernity,

01:19 Tsenge Joyce Lafitte, some were already infiltrated

01:23 among the supporters of the candidate before the group's intrusion.

01:27 For about ten minutes, it was chaos.

01:30 Chairs were torn, the two camps were thrown projectiles.

01:34 The candidate Alexandre Barrault-Chambrier had to be exfiltrated

01:39 while the tension was going down.

01:41 After being repulsed by the numerous participants of the opponent,

01:45 who came to listen to him, the attackers folded back

01:48 in a street facing the concession,

01:50 and the clashes continued for many more minutes,

01:55 with the use of projectiles.

01:58 Unacceptable intimidation.

02:00 The opponents stood up against those they identified

02:04 as people visibly manipulated by the regime's barons,

02:08 and openly condemned their violence.

02:10 "We condemn these acts of violence and take as witnesses

02:14 the international community",

02:16 said the spokesman of the National Assembly for the Motherland and Modernity.

02:19 He also regrets that we are still in the same situation as in 2016,

02:24 with violence and intimidation.

02:27 Even without a bell from Marcel Libama.

02:30 "The vote is a secret of the PDG.

02:33 And Chambrier, for him, is not a Gabonese.

02:35 Chambrier of Provence is for us, the PAN and others.

02:39 We can't get here.

02:41 It's a Belgian election, it's recorded.

02:44 And you know we wanted to win this election.

02:47 We want to secure a public place.

02:49 We want to secure a public place.

02:51 We want to secure a public place.

02:53 We want to secure a public place.

02:55 We want to secure a public place.

02:57 We want to secure a public place.

02:59 We want to secure a public place.

03:01 We want to secure a public place.

03:03 We want to secure a public place.

03:05 We want to secure a public place.

03:07 We want to secure a public place.

03:09 We want to secure a public place.

03:11 We want to secure a public place.

03:13 We want to secure a public place.

03:15 The event was delocalized, according to the spokesperson,

03:18 in a place that was not planned,

03:20 after numerous refusals that they have tried elsewhere.

03:23 Despite everything, the supporters of Alexandre Barraud-Chambrier

03:26 affirm their attachment to calm and to appeasement during these elections.

03:31 Thus, while regretting that the police did not move,

03:35 despite the proximity of the places of the event with certain sensitive places,

03:38 such as the governorate,

03:40 the spokesperson of the RPM declared

03:42 "We want peaceful elections and to reaffirm the attachment of his party

03:47 to the living together of Gabonese people."

03:49 Noting that similar events occur regularly in this province,

03:54 considered as the "guardian chess of the presidential party",

03:58 in August 2021, the village of the former minister Jean-Pierre Lembumba-Lepandou

04:03 had been ravaged by a fire in Okonja,

04:06 on the eve of a tour in the province of the president of the RPM,

04:09 Alexandre Barraud-Chambrier.

04:11 An affair that never led to arrests

04:15 and that went down in the drawers of justice.
