		</div><p>French police have dislodged protesters blocking a key fuel depot on the Mediterranean, as petrol shortages spread around the country amid increasingly tense strike action.</p>
<p>The CGT union reacted angrily to the overnight police advance on the depot at Fos-sur-Mer, where lorries resumed traffic this morning.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Europe-1 radio that the site was &#8220;liberated&#8221; after days of blockades.</p>
<p>The striking workers want the government to abandon a reform that extends the working week, and are blocking refineries and fuel depots around the country.</p>
<p>The junior minister for transport, Alain Vidalies, said on i-Tele television that 20% of petrol stations around the country are facing shortages as of Tuesday and unions are threatening to stop production at all of France&#8217;s eight refineries.</p>
<p>Mr Valls said: &#8220;Other sites will be liberated. I&#8217;m very determined.&#8221;</p>
<p>Consumers, meanwhile, are flocking to petrol pumps in anticipation of further problems.</p>
<p>Broadcast media in France even showed images of French drivers crossing the border to fill up their vehicles in Belgium.</p>
