PARIS—Protesters angry over virus and vaccine rules occupied Guadeloupe’s regional legislature because of stalled negotiations over their grievances about management of the French Caribbean island.
Regional Council President Ary Chalus agreed to a meeting with some of the protesters’ representatives, the council said on Twitter after Thursday’s incursion. Officials in Guadeloupe and Paris denounced the protest action as unacceptable and a threat to the democratically elected body.
