“They told me that if I do not back down, they will fight to defeat me”

    I went for an event in Paris a couple of years ago that was held on an annual day they had where they didn’t allow any pedestrian traffic into the centre core. It was an amazing experience only having to share the road with buses and taxis.

    People don’t consider the tourism money involved in these actions. There were over 300 people in our group from outside of the area, just for a single day event for a longboard community. Great job by the mayor to hold strong on these actions.

      Did you mean that private cars were disallowed here?

      It sounds a bit dystopian to ban pedestrians, but the context makes it seem like pedestrians were allowed and private cars were not.
