Martinique has been engulfed in violent protests over the high cost of living, leading to the death of one individual and injuries to nearly a dozen police officers. In response to the turmoil, French authorities have mandated a curfew, banned protests, and temporarily shut down Fort-de-France Airport, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded. Tensions have escalated with protesters clashing with police and setting fires near the airport. As the situation remains volatile, France is seeking measures to address the rising living costs that have fueled the unrest.
