Paris : signs of solidarity on the Tour de France

Indymedia Lille, July 28, 2022

Ivan was arrested on June 11, 2022 at about 3:30 am, according to Le Parisien, while he was putting his bike away. He is accused of having burned 6 vehicles, including a diplomatic car in the 17th arrondissement that same evening.

In the following days, the media served us information that came directly from the investigation file, but also the story of an Ivan who would go out every Saturday night on his bike to set fire to cars.

At the same time, another type of bike rally is taking place, albeit a little less hot. Macron told us in an interview on July 21 at the arrival in Hautacam that it is a “chance” to be able to see the Tour de France for free in these times when “the ends of the month are difficult, the shopping cart more and more expensive”. It is “bread and circuses”, but without the bread.

We like to seize every little “chance” and play the game! Rather than a show that the State would offer us to forget that it is shit, the Tour de France for us this year, was also something that Ivan and others could probably see from their cell, so we tried it: we posted ourselves in a corner on the course of the last stage of the Tour de France, in Paris, with signs:

FORZA IVAN (Go Ivan – in Italian) – ATTACK
THE BICYCLE IS FIRE – FUOCO ALLE CARCERI (Fire to the prisons – in Italian)

The cynicism of Macron and the State disgusts us, but fortunately actions such as those of which Ivan is accused are there to warm our hearts.

Strength and courage to all the prisoners in revolt!
