Emmanuel Macron will address the French on Wednesday March 22 during a highly anticipated television interview on TF1 and France 2. A communication operation to try to“appease” the anger against his pension reform adopted with forceps and to explain how he intends to overcome this crisis without changing his government or relying on the voters.
In France, several demonstrations took place as in Lille, Grenoble or Rennes and Nantes. Several oil depots also remained blocked. Incidents broke out on Tuesday in Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseillewhere the authorities proceeded to requisition striking personnel at a time when 12% of service stations in the country are running out of petrol or diesel.
This Wednesday, March 22, the A55 is blocked in the Fos-Marseille direction. Pallet fires set by protesters opposed to pension reform have led to the closure of the motorway in one direction in Marseille, causing traffic difficulties entering France’s second city. In Puget, it is the fuel depot which is blocked this morning.
