They refuse to weigh anchor.
In Lorient, fishermen continued to block the port on Monday evening.
A situation that worries the prefect of the department of Morbihan, who asked the professionals of the sea to release the port "in view in particular of the high risk of loss of products for the whole of the downstream sector (fishmongers and processors in particular)", specifies Joël Mathurin in a press release sent to the press on Monday evening.
Last week, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced a major support measure for fishermen with an immediate drop in the price of a liter of fuel by 35 euro cents.
Aid valid since March 17 and which will be in effect until at least July 31.
This Tuesday, a meeting is scheduled between state authorities, fishermen and other players in the sector “to examine the economic impacts of this blockage for companies that have suffered the consequences”.
On Friday, maritime professionals voted to continue blocking access to the port, including by sea.
Some boats consume more than 1,000 liters of fuel per day.
In their eyes, state aid is not enough.
The prefect warns the blockers that he could request the intervention of the police to restart maritime access to the port if the port authority so requests.
