“At this rate, a large part of the VSEs and SMEs in the sector will have to close”
With rising fuel prices, “we drive to drive, not to earn a living.
At this rate, a large part of the VSEs and SMEs in the sector will have to close.
The 410 million in aid announced are not at all appropriate.
For us, it's just a check for 1,300 euros, it doesn't even compensate for what we've lost so far,” he told AFP.
Filter dams are also in place in Saint-Lô, Carentan and Lessay, according to the prefecture of the Manche, which also mentions an action carried out on the A13 between Rouen and Caen, at the level of Dozulé (Calvados).

The boats remain at the quay at the level of the fishing port.

According to Olivier Becquet, 100 to 150 fishermen are Snail operations are also underway in Morbihan, with major slowdowns on the RN24 and RN165 around Lorient, the department's prefecture told AFP, which reports about 10 kilometers of traffic jams.
