Paris taxi drivers vow to disrupt French Open as protests escalate

If the government doesn’t listen, we’ll take care of Roland-Garros,

Emmanuelle Cordier, president of the National Taxi Federation, warned on Saturday, just hours before a meeting with the prime minister and transport minister

We are calling for the immediate withdrawal of this agreement and for a return to the negotiating table,

Emmanuelle Cordier, president of the National Taxi Federation , told France Info radio

From Monday," in the absence of progress, Paris international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, "will be blocked by taxis, and we will also take care of Roland Garros,

said Cordier, referring to the two-week French Open tennis which starts on Sunday

We will have to continue to show our discontent peacefully, but with increasingly tough blockades,

said Noel, a 60-year-old driver from Lyon, who has spent 21 years as a taxi driver
