Ajaccio's fishermen block the entry of the port and force Corsica Linea ferry to stand by in the Bay on April 7, 2026 on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, to put an end to the "deadly spiral" of rising fuel prices, which are already higher on the island than on the mainland due to the conflict in the Middle East. 'Our aim is to put an end to this deadly spiral of rising diesel prices,' Joseph Sanna, spokesperson for the Corsican fishermen's union, told AFP. The average price of a litre of tax-free fishing diesel stood at 1.09 on April 2, 2026 compared with 64 cents on March 2, 2026, at the start of the energy crisis triggered by the war in the Middle East, according to the Amarree fuel monitoring service.
