France's Yellow Vests movement may resurface as fuel prices surge
Eight years after tax-triggered protests, fishermen and other groups are blockading ports and terminals over energy price hikes.
Fishermen have begun blockading French ports and oil terminals in recent days to protest rising fuel prices, marking potential revival of activism similar to the Yellow Vest movement that erupted in 2018 over fuel taxes. The current surge in energy costs is affecting multiple economic sectors beyond fishing.
Calls for renewed street protests are gathering momentum across France as various groups report being squeezed by elevated prices, according to France 24.
