法國繼續抗議燃油價格上漲
Protesters in France are expected to continue demonstrations Tuesday against a hike in fuel prices linked to government environmental policies.
About 20,000 people turned out Monday to block oil depots, roads and gas stations.
Nearly 300,000 protested on Saturday, and organizers are again calling for mass demonstrations November 24 if President Emmanuel Macron's government does not agree to remove the taxes that are due to push fuel prices even higher in coming years.
The protests also reflect broader dissatisfaction with the French economy and perceptions that households have less spending power. Some critics have labeled Macron as "president of the rich."
But his government is not backing down. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said Sunday that while he hears protesters' anger, the policies will not change.
Police cleared some of the protests sites Monday.
One person has been killed in the demonstrations after being hit by a panicked driver. More than 500 people have been injured.法國的抗議者們預計週二繼續舉行示威活動，反對由於政府環境政策帶來的燃油價格上漲。
週一約有2萬人參加示威，阻礙油庫、道路和加油站的交通。
上週六有近30萬人參加抗議活動。組織者們呼籲，如果法國總統馬克龍的政府不同意取消燃油稅，就將在11月24號再次舉行大規模抗議。這項稅收將在未來幾年推升燃油價格。
這些抗議活動還反映出民衆對法國經濟以及人們認爲家庭消費能力下降的普遍不滿。一些評論人士稱馬克龍爲“富人的總統”。
但馬克龍政府沒有讓步。法國總理菲利普週日表示，他聽到了抗議者憤怒的呼聲，但政策不會改變。
警方星期一清除了部分抗議現場。
示威活動中有一人被一名恐慌的司機撞死，有500多人受傷。
