Dozens of strikers in France clashed with riot police deployed outside an oil depot in Fos-sur-mer, to enforce a government issued requisition order.
The Energy Transition Ministry Said on Tuesday (21/3/2023), that it would require some employees who are indispensable to the functioning of the oil depot some 50 kilometer north of marseille to return to work.
The move led some protesters to head to the site to support strikers and block access.
Tear gas rained over the demonstrators as they approached the giant white domes of the tanks, that hold millions of litres of crude and diesel fuel.
