Around 11:15 this morning, the release is being organized, towards Saint-Lô and Caen, at Guilberville. There are splits, and heated discussions, in the yellow jackets and in the drivers. Some wishing to continue blocking, others not. Some are worried: truckers have been stuck for three days without being equipped to face such conditions.

One truck every 20 minutes

The partial release decided late to start because yellow vests and truck drivers are not equipped to clear the hot ashes, heaps of wood and scrap hinder the straps.

11:30 am, backing up, one truck every 20 minutes. The truckers advise doing snail operations or blocking the economy. The yellow vests are struggling to cooperate and do not seem to want to give up too quickly. The stand-by is reinstalled after the passage of some trucks.

The release looks very slow and filtering.
