French convoys protesting virus rules move toward Paris

PARIS (AP) Protesters angry over pandemic restrictions drove toward Paris in scattered convoys of camper vans, cars and trucks Friday in an effort to blockade the French capital, despite a police ban.
The protesters organized online, galvanized in part by truckers who have blockaded Canadas capital and blocked border crossings. But the French action has no clear leader or goal, and comes as months of protests against French government vaccination and other anti-virus rules have been waning.
Paris region authorities deployed more than 7,000 police officers to tollbooths and other key sites to try to prevent a blockade. They threatened heavy fines and other punishments for those who defy the protest ban, which authorities said was necessary to prevent risk to public order.

(21,264 posts)his goal is for democracies to fail. Oligarchs are behind these blockades. A democracy is the one form of government where the unwashed are supposed to have the same rights as the oligarchs, that is upsetting to them.
Wait until these pawns find out which form of government has more freedom, a dictatorship or a democratic government.

In reality, they'll be lucky if they're able to find enough scraps in the dumpsters of their masters to survive. It'll be the gilded age on steroids.
