Truckers, fishermen and such want the EU Governments to create special "professional" fuels (basically the same fuel but with less taxes) so they can lower their costs. I don't see this happening, as the costs involved in checking which fuel goes where are too high. Besides, they will protest agin and again as the price of oil goes up and up. It is a matter of not grasping the concept of free market economy.
They have already blocked roads near the major cities. Yesterday I filled up the tank just in case and managed to avoid a major traffic jam. The protests will grow as the week passes, people are stockpiling on food and fuel. I hope the Government will not give in but who knows.
