The authorities of Lyon, located in the south-east of France, have decided to ban the manifestation of the Yellow Vests movement scheduled for April 13, Lyon Mayor Gerard Collomb wrote on his Twitter account.

“For several weeks, manifestations of Yellow Vests, held every Saturday, violate life in the center of Lyon,” he noted. 

According to Collomb, from November 2018, Lyon entrepreneurs, especially owners of restaurants and shops, forced to close their restaurants and shops due to protests, “experienced the consequences of these demonstrations on themselves.”
