It starts again. After an October marred by refinery strikes that caused severe fuel shortages, the situation is about to change again. Really, the main thing French trade unions (CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, Unsa, Solidaires, FSU) announced a new strike yesterday following the government’s presentation of the pension reform project. Therefore, from January 19, a new mobilization will take place at oil refineries. But that’s not all, because the movement will also take place on January 26, and a renewed strike is also scheduled for February 6.

To the deficit?
And this, again, should punish motorists first of all. According to Eric Cellini, the national coordinator of the CGT, these social movements can lead to ” drops of flow ” as well as stop deliveryor even shutting down refineries if necessary. If nothing has been said yet, the risk of a shortage is very present. But there is no need to rush to the first gas station, because it will only worsen the situation. For its part, the government is concerned, and the prime minister Elizabeth Bourne spoke in front of the BFM TV microphone about this mobilization, calling for the “responsibility” of trade unions and strikers.
Do not punish the French
The person behind the extension of the dues period actually explains that “on is in a period that can be complicated, p especially inflation concerns. Let’s find ways to act that will not punish our fellow citizens“. She also insists, recalling that “we can strike, but we must also be attentive to the daily lives of our fellow citizens“. It remains to be seen to what extent this mobilization will follow, but the coming weeks are already looking difficult…
