After the violence of May 1st, Xavier Crettiez recalled that, according to him, "black blocs are not a structured movement": "It is a technique of action which consists of grouping together in a temporary group of activists during a coordinated action which will target individuals or places designated as enemies."

During the Paris May Day parade, the Socialist Party was attacked by black blocs. For Xavier Crettiez, professor of political science at Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye, these activists see violence as a legitimate means of fighting capitalism and its collaborators.
