Scenes of further violence against medics pleading for resources as the French right tries to justify police actions<\/h3>\n

Although the issue has been widely ignored by UK media \u2013 following a pattern set by non-coverage of the \u2018gilets jaunes<\/em>\u2018 protests against cuts \u2013 French health staff have been protesting against the collapse of the country\u2019s health services under so-called \u2018moderate\u2019 president Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n

Also largely ignored by this country\u2019s media has been Macron\u2019s use of violence against protesting doctors and nurses, with tear gas and baton charges unleashed just yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But even more horrific scenes of violence have come to light, as police were filmed dragging a woman around by her hair and throwing her against a tree and then the ground, before kneeling on her in scenes appallingly reminiscent of the murder of George Floyd \u2013 as she cries out that she is a nurse and needs her inhaler:<\/p>\n
