Palettes galore, replenishment of food and coffee, makeshift huts. This Monday, November 19, 2018 during the afternoon, we see that around the roundabout Porte d'Espagne, symbol of the mobilization of yellow vests in Caen, the determination does not waver.
"We will try to bring tarpaulins, ropes, to make huts. Third day of blocking at the blue roundabout, as we call the Porte d'Espagne at Ifs, near Caen. And the protesters do not intend to drop the yellow vest.
"People pass, give us something to drink, to eat, sometimes a little money," says 55-year-old Jean-Pierre. They are sometimes people who do not show up with us. But they support us. "
On the improvised tables (trash bins, piles of pallets), the buffets are generous, near the braziers of tires. Margot and Pauline, 17 and 14, even brought pancakes "for everyone, to be in solidarity" .
Dad and mom are not far away. Virginie, 46, posed RTTs to be present. Many other participants acted the same way, too caught in the throat to allow a strike that would amputate their salary. Because all think "that it will last" , as long as their "fed up" will not be heard.
