On this day, the Paris police prefecture took a decree banning the demonstrations of the “Convoy of Freedom”, February 11-14 inclusive. This « due to the risks of public disorder that might cause this gathering “, and due to the fact that the demonstration was “ undeclared ». According to the press release, violators face two years in prison and 4,500 euros in fines, as well as a suspension of a driver’s license, under the Highway Code.

The #LUSTFULALIBERTE arrives in Avignon. A warm welcome for those who have taken the road from Marseille, Toulon and Nice. The scale of the mobilization surprised most of the protesters: several hundred cars, motorcycles, motorhomes and even three trucks. pic.twitter.com/nHfMfWAELT
