Rennes (AFP)

Construction professionals continued Saturday blocking access to oil deposits Vern-sur-Seiche, near Rennes, Brest and Lorient, as well as that of Le Mans, resulting in the closure of service stations not restocked, have we learned from conditional sources.

The Breton deposits were blocked from Thursday night and that of Le Mans, Thursday afternoon.

Protesters protest against the elimination of the tax advantage on non-road diesel (GNR), provided in the draft finance law for 2020. "The GNR, a tax niche? No, it is the energy of our tool "could be read on a banner in front of the Le Mans oil depot.

A number of service stations have been closed since Friday, in whole or in part, depending on the nature of the fuels they lack.

From Friday, large lines have formed before the gas pumps, many motorists fearing a shortage, have found AFP journalists.
