Hundreds gathered across France, particularly in Paris, to protest against 'motorised violence' following the death of 27-year-old cyclist Paul Varry, who was allegedly run over by an SUV driver during a road altercation. Demonstrators called for a reassessment of road safety measures, brandishing placards with messages like 'less speed, more tenderness'. The driver, who was filmed driving in the cycle lane before striking Varry, has been charged with murder. Anne Monmarche, president of the cyclist advocacy group Paris en Selle, emphasized the urgent need for authorities to address the dangers cyclists face. A minute of silence was observed at the time of Varry's death, reflecting the grief and anger of the community. The protests aim to promote safer streets for all road users amidst rising tensions over urban traffic management.
