That’s it, the strike has definitely started, and it’s been a few weeks since the date was announced. Since yesterday, many demonstrators have taken part in this movement, which affects all professions. Indeed, of course, we also think about railway workers refinery workers, but garbage collectors are also a part, as well as truck drivers who have conducted several snail operations throughout the area. Then this big protest is aimed at the pension reform introduced by Emmanuel Macron. He wants to extend the working hours of the French by two years. What with the last, obviously, difficult to pass.

What are the consequences?

But motorists today are primarily concerned about the blocking of oil refineries. Indeed, CGT announced yesterday that all sites present in France are currently down and that no more fuel will be arriving until at least the end of the week. But then what should we expect in the coming days? At first, nothing special. Provided that all motorists do not rush to the service station to fill their tanks. In effect, repositories still work and service stations are currently replenished without problems.

Movement followed

Then the country has from three to 15 days of reserve, depending on type of fuel. Especially since the distributors showed impatience. The latter benefited from higher supplies in recent days. If the movement continues, then it will be necessary to use the strategic reserves of the state, because it is possible that the deficit will show the tip of the nose. Most refinery workers are currently on strike, but the movement is still widespread across the country.
