Loud bangs, cops are on the move. People are retreating to adjacent streets, some screaming "Police everywhere, justice nowhere". #greve #Lyon

The police is blocking the bridge, barring access to the peninsula and the town center. The crowd is hesitating.

Chilean slogans, and now the French Internationale song, while the cortege is slowly arriving at the Guillotière bridge.

"Une pensée pour les familles des vitrines" ("thoughts and prayers for the showcases families" ; it's funny because in French "victim" and "showcase / vitrine" sound the same) #greve #Lyon

Iirc, the desmonstration is not authorized to reach the peninsula and city center because of the Lights Festivities (Fête des Lumières). But the procession keep going straight anyway, towards the Guillotière bridge.

"Everyboy together, everybody together, general strike".

I can't handle the tear gas, I'm back a bit further in the procession. There are some signs with funny "strike" puns. #greve #Lyon

Some tensions, police first charges and tear gas.

"Allez les blacks" An overthrown glass container provides ammos of empty bottles.

Now crossing the Victor Basch place. People give flyers for a coordination telegram channel.

"Antifa #Lyon Lyon antifa" #greve

Cops are spotted blocking a perpendicular street. Boos and ACAB are heard. People chant "Every - body - hate the cops". #greve #Lyon

Sign reads "Our experts are formal, your new world sucks big time"

The demonstration is advancing again. Chants of "for the honour of workers, and for a better world".

Chants of "A... Anti... Anticapitalists" and "#Lyon, get up, rise up" #greve

Head of the cortege is arriving at Garibaldi. People shout to slow down to wait for the tail. #greve #Lyon

Démonstration starting. Anarchists and anticapitalists up front. Young and old people screaming ACAB. Some fireworks are set off with loud bangs. #greve.
