The “freedom convoys”, which denounce the health restrictions, are on their way to Paris, while they are prohibited from entering the capital. Journalist Ben Barnier, live from Lyon (Rhône), Thursday February 10, follows one of them from Nice (Alpes-Maritime). He tells us about the reactions in the ranks of the protesters.
“The people who are gathered here in Lyon are necessarily galvanized by this idea of a convoy to the capital, that said all these demonstrators will not necessarily go to Paris”, says Ben Barnier, live from Lyon (Rhône). Several reasons for this:on the one hand there are people who live here in the Lyon region, who simply came to meet the demonstrators, to support them, but who will not go any further“, describes the journalist.
Some people do not wish to enter Paris, “and avoid crowds, possible incidents. Finally there are the most determined people, 400 to 500 people expected in Lyon, they come from Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) and Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), and they confided to me this evening again that they were counting reach the capital despite the ban“, reports Ben Barnier for the 19/20 of France 3.
