Authorities in Martinique have struck a deal with supermarkets and distributors to lower food prices, but protesters say the move doesn’t go far enough. Demonstrations over the high cost of living have rocked the French Caribbean island for weeks, some turning violent.
Prefect Jean-Christophe Bouvier on Wednesday announced an agreement between local authorities and supermarket distributors to lower the cost of some food items by an average of 20 percent.
