The Rassemblement pour la protection des peuples et des ressources afro-caribéennes (RPPRAC) called a Fort-de-France demonstration against high living costs and food prices far above mainland levels. The movement raised questions about market concentration, colonial economic structures and the island's dependence on imported goods. Unlike the 2009 Guadeloupe strike, it was initiated by a civil-society collective rather than a union coalition. The event began a wider mobilization involving supermarket actions, road blockades and negotiations.
