On Tuesday 21, Oil depot of Fos-sur-Mer was requisitioned by the prefecture causing disturbances between police and workers blocking the depot. Protests continue in France after the prime minister announced on 16 March 2023 the use of Article 49 paragraph 3 (49.3) of the French Constitution to have the text on the controversial pension reform law - raising retirement age from 62 to 64 - be definitively adopted without a vote.
