After meeting with Minister of the Sea and Fishing Catherine Chabaud, Mediterranean fishermen have ended their actions, while threatening new blockades in Marseille and Toulon starting Friday.
Commercial fishermen blocked the Nice port Thursday morning, forcing the diversion of a ferry carrying 600 passengers, as the government worries about the impact of the international crisis on fuel prices.
