French fishermen block ports to protest against fuel price rises
"The préfecture called for the immediate lifting of the blockades of Corsican port facilities, which are causing serious harm to Corsican households and businesses without providing a solution for the professionals concerned."
Fishermen in Corsica are blocking six commercial ports to protest against rising fuel prices and inadequate government assistance. The blockade is led by a young independent fishermen's union. Farmers may join the protests, which follow similar actions by hauliers in mainland France. The government has called for the blockades to end, citing harm to local households and businesses. Union representatives express desperation, stating that without action, small-scale fishing will cease to exist.
