| 00:00 | | Liberty! Liberty! Liberty! |
| 00:05 | | Thank you, “Macaron”! It’s all thanks to him! |
| 00:08 | | He wanted to piss us off; well, today we love each other! |
| 00:11 | | He wanted to divide us; we are all united! |
| 00:15 | | I’m going up to Paris for our liberty, for the children, for everything. |
| 00:19 | | We left our small child, who is four years old, with Grandma and left for this adventure, |
| 00:23 | | for the liberation. At the moment, I’m reporting for Brut from Toulon. |
| 00:26 | | I’m traveling with one of the Convoys For Freedom |
| 00:29 | | that left from Nice on Tuesday. So, what you need to know is that others have left from several |
| 00:33 | | French cities and will converge and meet in the capital [Paris] this evening. |
| 00:38 | | Avignon |
| 00:42 | | Just moments before departure, and as you see, there’s such solidarity. |
| 00:46 | | There’s quite a selection on offer for breakfast before leaving. |
| 00:50 | | It is fabulous, because in fact in the beginning we felt alone, |
| 00:54 | | and then there’s this whole emulation and we make it grow even larger |
| 00:59 | | until we find a sense of what we are doing, which bring us straight to a freedom |
| 01:05 | | that we had completely lost. —What liberty are you reclaiming exactly with this convoy? |
| 01:10 | | Freedom. It’s the freedom of movement. It’s the freedom to live normally. |
| 01:15 | | It’s the freedom to go to a restaurant. We demand that our children |
| 01:19 | | stop being suffocated by all these masks, by all these protocols, |
| 01:23 | | by all these tests that are going to suffocate them as time goes by and |
| 01:27 | | that will make them neurotic people, adults who are not comfortable in their own skin. |
| 01:34 | | Liberty! “The day of glory has arrived! Against us, tyranny’s bloody standard is raised…” |
| 01:50 | | So, just behind me you see the Canadian flag. Quite simply because the Convoy for Freedom |
| 01:54 | | started first in Canada. It was the truck drivers who crossed the country |
| 01:58 | | to protest against the vaccination obligation. |
| 02:03 | | How is it being organized logistically, because it’s several days? —There are supplies, |
| 02:07 | | there are trucks, the solidarity is huge, it’s impressive. There’s food, drink; there’s everything. |
| 02:15 | | Really, it is the best. It’s been an amazing feat of organisation, |
| 02:19 | | we had the tears in our eyes already three times yesterday. We cried. |
| 02:23 | | It was so beautiful and moving, and voilà. Over here, there are really a lot of people |
| 02:28 | | who arrived between yesterday and today… It’s beautiful. |
| 02:33 | | Lyon |
| 02:41 | | Liberty! Liberty! Liberty! |
| 02:46 | | The participants in the convoy are arriving in Lyon and there are logistics in place to feed |
| 02:50 | | the hundreds of people who are arriving on site and who are very hungry, |
| 02:54 | | because the drive was long today between Avignon and Lyon. |
| 03:02 | | Yeah! |
| 03:05 | | So now, it’s a little after 8am and you have hundreds of vehicles parked in the parking lot |
| 03:10 | | just behind me, near Lyon, which are going to take to the road again towards Dijon, |
| 03:13 | | and then, the last few kilometers straight to Paris, before Brussels. |
| 03:17 | | Dijon |
| 03:21 | | As you can see here, there is a welcoming committee at each milestone. Here we’re in Dijon, |
| 03:25 | | for example, and you have about 100 to 200 people who are there |
| 03:29 | | to encourage those who participate in this convoy. |
| 03:39 | | What motivates me is everything. On the one hand the vaccine passport. |
| 03:43 | | There are also other things like… like all these increases in diesel, electricity… |
| 03:47 | | Everything is going wrong, everything is going wrong. |
| 03:51 | | People are at the end of their rope. They can’t take any more and we have to do something about it. |
| 03:55 | | The Yellow Vests protested over, let’s say, the price of gasoline, |
| 04:00 | | and we saw the protests and it was over gas being €1.50. |
| 04:04 | | Now we are at €1.70, but it’s not just about that. It’s all the VAT [Value Added Taxes]. |
| 04:08 | | The citizens want to be able to fill their fridge at the end of the month. |
| 04:12 | | To afford to take their children to the cinema, to a restaurant, or on vacation. |
| 04:17 | | They want to enjoy life, simply enjoy life. |
| 04:21 | | Working is necessary, there’s no problem there, but people also want to enjoy the simple things, |
| 04:26 | | and they want to become once again a showcase to the world |
| 04:30 | | in regard to democracy, citizenship and for human rights. |
| 04:34 | | So, the this convoy’s objective is to go to Paris. An arrival is planned for this evening, and then |
| 04:38 | | for some of them, it is on to Brussels, to be as close as possible to the European institutions |
| 04:42 | | and where other Convoys of Freedom from across Europe are expected. |
