Update on the events of the afternoon in Côtes-d'Armor.
Yellow vests want to differentiate themselves from thugs
At 3 pm, in front of a hundred yellow vests gathered in front of the prefecture, in Saint-Brieuc, the leaders at the origin of the movement in Saint-Brieuc opposed any form of violence, reproaching the thugs for having mixed protesters, on the night of Monday to Tuesday, at the entrance to the commercial area of Langueux, to do battle with the police. Now, "we do not want to see any yellow vest outside after 8 pm," they announced.
At 3:30 pm, the prefect of Côtes-d'Armor tweeted the text of the order he had just made following the incidents of the night in Langueux. Any new gathering is forbidden on the site of the shopping center.

Lannion: Bel-Air reopened after the intervention of the gendarmes
Around 4 pm, the gendarmes unblock the Bel-Air roundabout, between Ploulec'h and Lannion, towards Morlaix. Everything happens in calm. At 5.30 pm, at the end of the four-lane, at the roundabout of Boutil, the traffic is free.
At Tréguier, all the dams were raised. Contrary to what was announced, the Yellow Vests did not reinvest the Canada Bridge.
Some irreducible in Loudéac
At 5 pm, at the Bellière roundabout, a calm discussion between the commander of the Saint-Brieuc gendarmerie company and the yellow jackets. He asks them to stop obstructing traffic. The same scene took place a little before at the Triskell roundabout. At 6 pm, some irreducible Yellow Vests stop the cars to talk, which slows traffic. Before getting out of camp, finally.
