法國司機抗議燃油稅，阻斷交通

Drivers in France are planning to block roads across the country to protest rising fuel taxes, in a new challenge to embattled President Emmanuel Macron.

Protesters pledge to target tollbooths, roundabouts and the bypass that rings Paris on Saturday. The government is preparing to send police to remove protesters and threatening fines.

The taxes are part of Macron's strategy of weaning France off fossil fuels. Many drivers see them as emblematic of a presidency seen as disconnected from day-to-day economic difficulties.

The protesters have dubbed themselves the “yellow jackets” because they wear fluorescent vests that all French drivers must keep in their vehicles in case of car troubles.

Separately, ambulances briefly blocked Paris' Champs-Elysees on Friday to protest new rules on ambulance financing and put pressure on Macron's government.法國陷入困境的總統馬克龍又面臨新的挑戰，包括法國的司機正計劃阻斷全國各地的道路，以抗議不斷上漲的燃油稅。

抗議者們誓言以收費站、環形交叉路口以及環繞巴黎的環路爲目標。 當局則準備派遣警察驅逐抗議者並威脅罰款。

稅收是馬克龍希望法國擺脫石化燃料戰略的一部分。 但許多司機認爲這是這位被看作是無視日常經濟困難的總統的象徵。

抗議者們自稱爲“黃夾克”，因爲他們都穿上反光背心，這是所有法國司機車裏必帶的，以備汽車出現故障時用。

另外，一些救護車週五短暫封鎖了巴黎的香榭麗舍大街，以抗議對救護車融資的新規則，給馬克龍政府施加壓力。
