French taxi drivers blocked major motorways to protest against a government reform that would alter medical transport fare calculations, threatening the drivers’ income.
Hundreds obstructed the A6 motorway towards the Finance Ministry, opposing a new health insurance reimbursement system.
The proposed flat €13 ($15) base fare with per-kilometer charges is seen as insufficient, especially in rural areas, mobilizing thousands and risking sector devastation.
