The chosen symbol came from Bayonne, where every year there is a party with bullfights, whose members tie a red handkerchief around their necks. At first it was a protest against the blockade of roads in the Vaucluse, in the department of the Primorsky Alps. Gradually, people from other parts of the country joined the movement.
