Euskaraz irakurri: Lehen blokeoak Frantziako errepideetan, astearteko lanuzte handiaren aurretik
The first trucker blockades were felt this Monday on french roads on the eve of what is anticipated as the most massive day of strikes and demonstrations since the protest against the pension reform of the Government of Emmanuel Macron began.
The vehicle filtering actions launched in logistics centers and accesses to some large cities since Sunday night caused this morning traffic jams on access roads from Lille (north) or Rouen (northwest).
As of 7:00 p.m., the strikes will take effect on the trains. The state railway company SNCF has already announced that cancel tomorrow 80% of high-speed trains (TGV) on average and practically all the other conventional long-haul trains.
Besides, the drivers strike it will lead to the suppression of 20% of the flights at Charles de Gaulle and 30% at the other airport in Paris, as well as those at Beauvais, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Marseille, Montpellier, Nice and Toulouse.
The police anticipate between 1.1 and 1.4 million protesters tomorrow. All the surveys of the last months show a very majority rejection of reform and support for the unions in their plans to continue the strikes beyond Tuesday.
