“Near Paris in a Lidl market, our “guests” get their groceries in their own way… what will it look like for us in the next few weeks…”
A video shared on Facebook shows a supermarket brawl near Paris. The accompanying text reads: “In a Lidl market near Paris, our “guests” get their groceries in their own way…what will it look like for us in the next few weeks…”
The video in question shows a group of people armed with sticks hitting each other at the supermarket checkout. The scene is a Lidl supermarket in Aubervilliers, a suburb in the north of Paris. It belongs to the department of Seine-Saint-Denis and has around 86,000 inhabitants.

In fact, the video has absolutely nothing to do with the current Corona crisis.
The video was recorded on May 6, 2019, well before the corona virus spread to a person for the first time.
The newspaper LeParisien also reacted to the distribution of the video and clearly stated that it was a fight between two rival gangs, which was broken up by the local police following the video.

Where the information came from that the video is about “guests”, in right-wing jargon this usually means asylum seekers, cannot be determined from either the video or the accompanying text.
Summarized:
The video is real, but it was recorded on May 19, 2019, several months before the Corona crisis, and shows a gang fight between two rival gangs in the area. The accompanying text and the attempted link between asylum seeker crime and the Corona crisis are factually incorrect and merely fall under the clumsy attempt at right-wing propaganda.
