Despite the government’s assurances that the fuel tax would be suspended, as well as the temporary freezing of gas and electricity price increases, the yellow vests do not give up. Drivers can expect roadblocks in several departments. Media report that some fuel depots are still blocked.
The fuel depots at Port-la-Nouvelle in the Aude department in the south of France and in the towns of Brest and Lorient in Brittany are blocked by protesters, reports France Bleu. In addition, in the Sarthe department, in Mans, about 70 protesters prevent entry and exit from the fuel depot.
Due to the blockades of fuel depots, many gas stations are struggling with a shortage or total lack of fuel. See the map below for exact locations:
