They are hunters of current events images, but they are also inspired artists. In the course of a report, they do not fail, with their sharp eye, to photograph the unusual. Here is an anthology of the year 2024 which also tells the news, seen differently.

January 11. The grace and conviction of this beautiful person during a rally against sexist and sexual violence, Place des Martyrs-de-la-Résistance seem to announce the profound upheavals in society that the Pélicot trial will bring about.

January 23.“Zemmour get lost, Montpeul’est anti-fa”. Passing through Montpellier on the evening of Tuesday, January 23, where he was gathering his supporters, Eric Zemmour probably did not hear the cries indicating that he was not welcome in the city. In the afternoon, Mayor Michaël Delafosse himself wrote on X (ex-Twitter) that the far-right polemicist is “at the antipodes of the history and convictions of our city”. His almost lustful look already foreshadows the joy felt on the evening of June 9 at the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly by President Macron. During the legislative elections, 11 million voters will give their votes to his enemy brothers of the National Rally, a little to the left of his party Reconquête.

Feu sacré

May 20. In communication, we could do without certain oxymorons. Sacred Fire of the Shattered ? Paronomasia is as cruel as the growing number of these people who are too often reduced to the three letters SDF.

It's going to be a mess!

June 14. How many went to vote in the European elections of June 9? There were several hundred of them on the 14th in the streets of Montpellier to express their fear of the possible arrival in power of a self-proclaimed Bardella Prime Minister.
It was as if we were 22 years ago back between the two rounds of the presidential election opposing Jacques Chirac to Jean-Marie Le Pen, where thousands of people took to the streets to say no to the extreme right embodied at the time by Marine's father.

September 9. “Ah, to be devout, I am no less a man”. The fresco of the arquebus located at the foot of the Corum will not resist the scabrous revelations concerning the man of the church.

November 6. The price of drugs at La Paillade. More vulgar than a comma on the gray wall of the men's restroom at Gare du Nord, Desproges would have said.

November 24.In Lattes, the valiant boxer Lucas Migotti, from the Montpellier Boxing Club, defended his WBF intercontinental belt against the formidable Argentinian José Hugo Acevedo, ten years his senior, three times Argentinian champion and winner of the South American belt. Despite a heroic defense and great courage, Lucas gave in at the end of the ten rounds by referee stoppage in front of a boxer who, by his nationality and his arrogance, was reminiscent of the great Carlos Monzón.
