Arrival of part of the Freedom Convoys in Lyon tomorrow evening, Thursday February 10
Like the Canadian Freedom Convoys, several convoys were formed throughout France. This Wednesday, February 9 in the morning, a convoy left Nice, it is expected within a few hours in Avignon and tomorrow, Thursday in Lyon. The competent participants “march on Paris” to make their disagreements heard as closely as possible to the central power.
Trucks, converted vans, cars, motorcycles… whatever the number of wheels of their vehicle, they intend to cross France to block Paris. In their trunks, water, food and what to cover themselves during the night in their car.
The demands of the convoys are multiple, prominently being the abandonment of the vaccination pass.
The participants of these convoys also wish to point out a drop in purchasing power, the increase in fuel, moreover in the processions some of the demonstrators claim to belong to the movement of yellow vests.
As with the movement born in 2017, the Freedom Convoys are gaining momentum on social networks. Mon organizing group ccount more than 300,000 members on Facebook.
Participants organize themselves online with an almost instantaneously updated map.

According to this map, Lyon represents a stage town where the procession would stay overnight from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. For now, the meeting place in the capital of Gaul is not yet known.

For more than a week Ottawa in Canada has been completely blocked by truckers. Their FreedomConvoy has become entrenched, it is the ambition of many members of the Freedom Convoy.
Across the Atlantic, truckers are opposed to the vaccination obligation imposed on them to travel to the United States.
In France, the movement is not corporatist, it brings together supporters from a wide variety of backgrounds and is not limited to denouncing the vaccination pass.
