Clichy affair

The Clichy affair was a significant event in the history of anarchism and France, occurring on 1 May 1891 in Clichy, when anarchists were subjected to police brutality. The affair was one of the primary causes of the Ère des attentats. With the Fourmies massacre, happening the same day, it was one of the events of this period where the social tensions reached their peak in France. Anarchists had faced increasing repression in the preceding decade, and they joined the early International Workers' Day. About twenty of them were peacefully demonstrating between Levallois-Perret and Clichy, preceded by a red flag carried by one of them. The police attempted to seize the flag from her, considering it a "seditious emblem", and a fight ensued, along with a shooting, as the police fired on the demonstrators who were trying to flee. Three of them, Henri Decamps, Charles Dardare, and Louis Léveillé, were arrested and, taken to the police station, were violently beaten by the police; one of the officers even tried to kill Dardare. During their trial in August 1891, the prosecutor demanded the death penalty for all three. Two of them received very heavy sentences of five and three years in prison, with the police facing no repercussions. The affair sparked outrage among a segment of French society and deeply shocked anarchists, a number of whom came to support propaganda of the deed methods—or terrorism—to avenge those responsible for their repression. A few months after the conviction of the three anarchists, Ravachol, Soubère, Jas-Béala, and Simon carried out the Saint Germain bombing, targeting the judge in charge of the trial.

2017 Levallois-Perret attack

On the morning of 9 August 2017, a driver rammed a car into a group of soldiers in the commune of Levallois-Perret in the northwestern suburbs of Paris. Six soldiers patrolling the area as part of Opération Sentinelle were injured in the attack, three of them seriously. The driver fled the scene and, several hours later, was shot and arrested by an elite police unit on a highway near the town of Marquise, Pas-de-Calais after attempting to ram a roadblock. According to the French police the incident was terrorist-related. The attack is part of a series of similar attacks by jihadists in Western countries. On 23 August 2017, French prosecutors pressed terrorism charges against the suspect, 36-year-old Algerian Hamou Benlatrèche, who was said to have "radical beliefs and showed interest in the Islamic State group." He was later sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Situation et accès

La rue Victor-Hugo suit le tracé de la route départementale 909. Son point de départ se trouve à la limite de Paris. Elle prolonge en effet le boulevard Malesherbes au delà de la Porte d'Asnières, qui forme son extrémité. Parmi les axes principaux, elle croise la rue Jean-Jaurès, ex-rue du Bois, la rue Aristide-Briand, anciennement rue de Gravel, puis la rue Paul-Vaillant-Couturier, autrefois rue Gide. Après avoir marqué le début de la rue Baudin, elle passe en biais sous la ligne de Paris-Saint-Lazare à Saint-Germain-en-Laye, mise en service en 1837. Ce pont-biais a été reconstruit en 1852. Elle rejoint ensuite la route d'Asnières à Clichy, qui franchit la Seine sur le pont d'Asnières. Cette rue est desservie par la gare de Clichy - Levallois.

Origine du nom

Cette rue porte le nom du poète, dramaturge, écrivain et homme politique français Victor Hugo (1802-1885).

Historique

La rue Victor-Hugo fait partie de l'ancien chemin qui menait de Paris à Asnières-sur-Seine, passant notamment par la rue de Tocqueville à Paris. Son tracé historique est prolongé par la rue du Bac d'Asnières à Clichy, qui date d'avant la construction du pont d'Asnières.
