Taxi Drivers Protest Against Reduced Rates for Medical Transport in France
Taxi drivers in France are protesting for the third consecutive day against a proposed reduction in rates for patient transport under a new health insurance convention. The government aims to save 300 million euros, pushing taxi and healthcare transport services to negotiate terms. Gatherings in Paris and other major cities, such as Orléans and Lyon, are ongoing, despite police intervention. Leaders from the protest movement express dissatisfaction with alternate gathering locations, emphasizing the importance of visibility in their demonstration efforts.
