"If the Planes Have to Take Off Empty to Be Heard, We Will": Taxis Continue the Strike

The mobilization of taxis is expected to remain strong this Friday... and the next few days. Their federations are calling to amplify the movement next week and to multiply the blockages.

On Thursday 22 May, taxi drivers continue their protest movement against the health transport reform project. About 30 of them blocked access to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport this morning. They say they are ready to join the government.

VTC Uber's platform called for calm on Wednesday, regretting the physical assault of four drivers.

The taxi strike continued on Thursday 22 May throughout France. Drivers continue to ride around Paris tonight.

Taxis are mobilizing for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday against the competition of the VTC and the new rates of the Medicare for the transport of sick people. Snail operations take place on several motorways in the region.
