Truck drivers go on strike because of gasoil prices. The strike begins today, and they won't let a single truck into the cities. There are already fears of lack of food in the stores. Gas station owners say they will have gas for just a week if supply stops. The governement forms a crisis team, including the Defence minstery.
I'm sure people is rushing right now to the stores. I know is just a strike, and things would be right again after some days. But I got the feeling this is gonna happen more and more often from now.
Wonder what would happen when the problem won't be expensive gas, but no gas at all.

I can confirm this story, I have a mate who is a trans-European trucker & talked to him this-morning.
Word from the inside is that the protest is going Europe-wide 'some time soon'. The aim will be to force governments across the EU to cut fuel taxes for all sectors.
Off now to fill the jerry cans...
