The flood of coaches captured from a helicopter yesterday morning near Perpinyà certifies the success of the event called by the Council for the Republic. More than 600 buses were expected at the exhibition area in Perpinyà and there was total standstill. The vehicles parked in an area known as the D617, a dual carriageway road that links Perpinyà with Canet de Rosselló. Images of this moment are already circulating on social media, where mile-long coach queues can be seen.

Images show the hundreds of coaches millimetrically parked along the D617, in a double row.
