      François Hollande faces biggest challenge to flagging authority

      France’s current spate of strikes and blockades threatens the economy, writes Hugh Carnegy

      Workers on strike block the access to the harbour of Saint-Nazaire, western france, on May 24, 2016 to protest against the government's planned labour law reforms. Petrol shortages caused long tailbacks of motorists in parts of France on May 23 as protesters angry over government labour reforms blockaded some of the country's oil refineries and fuel depots. The action was the latest in three months of strikes and protests against the reform, which has set the Socialist government against some of its traditional supporters and sometimes sparked violence. / AFP PHOTO / JEAN-SEBASTIEN EVRARDJEAN-SEBASTIEN EVRARD/AFP/Getty Images
