Paris bans 'freedom convoy' from holding protests in the capital
The Guardian reported, citing Reuters, the Paris police authority has said it has decided to ban a so-called “freedom convoy” of motorists from holding protests in the French capital from 11-14 February.
Protesters had set out from southern France on Wednesday in what they call a freedom convoy that will converge on Paris and Brussels to demand an end to Covid-19 restrictions, inspired by demonstrators who have blocked a Canadian border crossing.
About 200 protesters assembled in a parking lot in Nice, on France’s Mediterranean coast, with many displaying Canadian flags in a nod to the truckers who are protesting in Canada.
