They were only seven but enough to paralyze the already saturated traffic.
This Friday morning around 8:30 a.m., a handful of activists from the Last Renovation environmental movement blocked access to the Fourvière tunnel in Lyon, sitting on the traffic lanes.
Dressed in fluorescent vests and lined up behind a thick banner, the activists demanded a real energy renovation plan for buildings considered "thermal sieves", claiming to belong to "the last generation capable of preventing a societal collapse".
Sémi, 19, supporting #DerniereRenovation:
“I would have liked to stay quiet at home but today I decided to sit on the road.
It doesn't make me happy to disturb all these people, but for me it's the only thing left for me to do.
