Carol, relative to your latest response on effect on cruise ship visitors and cruise lines, by default.
Oct 20 2 ships in. Oct 21 no ships in. Oct 22 4 ships in. Oct 23 1 ship in. And on it goes. Obviously the "demonstration" today was targeted to the highest presence of ships in port sine Oct 14. Next 4 ship day is Nov 3. One of the objectives must have been to trap as many cruise ship visitors as possible in the gridlock and inconvenience the cruise lines. Road blockages started around 1 to 2 pm, when the busses/taxi's were well out on the French side. I wonder how many visitors missed their sailing deadline, or how many ships had to stay in port. Why not flex the muscle on a 0 cruise ship day? Had one on 21st and another coming up on 24th.
Voting is the way this should be handled, not a bunch of irresponsible anarchistic behavior, probably by a very small minority of the residents. This type of behavior ultimately causes more problems in the future.
