Following the significant increase in fuel prices in recent days, construction professionals, transporters and fishermen have decided to block the Lorient oil depot on Tuesday March 15 from 8 a.m.
Since 8 a.m., around fifty works vehicles and dozens of officials from public works companies, taxi drivers, fishermen from the region and other demonstrators have been blocking access to the Lorient oil depot to demand the freezing of the domestic tax on petroleum products (TIPP) pending the implementation of the resilience plan announced by the Government.
For Norbert Guillou, Morbihan president of the National Chamber of Public Works and Landscape Crafts (CNATP) and boss of the public works company Aspi TP: “We will stay until the government gives us what we are asking for: freezing the TIPP. We defend everyone today. »
After having threatened the previous weekend during a meeting at the headquarters of the TPSL company in Caudan to prevent all trucks from leaving the depot, "with the exception of those loaded with non-road diesel, reserved for farmers and agricultural work contractors", the group therefore took action to assert its demands.
On Monday, March 14, the fishermen were already blocking one of the entrances to the port of Keroman alone with the same demands and another joint blocking action is planned for Thursday, March 17.
