An effigy hangs from a crane next to a banner reading "Our anger is rising, your policy is sinking fishing!!!" on a boat at the port of Grau-du-Roi, southern France, during a fishermen's protest against soaring fuel prices, on September 17, 2026. Fishermen block access to a fuel depot in Frontignan (Herault) on the morning of September 17, 2026, as well as the ports of Sete and Nice, "symbolic" actions to raise the alarm over the rise in fuel prices, ahead of a meeting scheduled with the fisheries minister at the end of the morning.
