What happened

A slow-moving protest by the Organisation of European Road Transport Operators (OTRE) is under way on the Paris ring road, with hauliers demanding help as fuel prices rise.

Why it matters

The action, a go-slow rather than a full blockade, is meant to press the government for direct support and clearer fuel aid.

Common ground

The dispute comes after talks with ministers stalled.

Perspective signals
