As expected, this Thursday, January 19, was a day of strong mobilization across France. And it was not for nothing that many workers of all professions started a nationwide strike in protest against the pension reform proposed by the government. And the least we can say is that he was closely watched, although several demonstrations took place throughout France. But while many professionals from all walks of life have decided to strike, the movement is particularly strong in oil refineries. Indeed, it would have been yesterday from 70% to 100% of drummers on TotalEnergies sites according to CGT.

That’s OK
A situation that may well worry motorists then. And for good reason, no one wants to suffer again from the hassle of last October, when the wait at the station was sometimes more than two hours. But according to TotalEnergies, there is absolutely no reason to worry if the strike does not continue. Patrick Poignant, the company’s CEO, spoke on BFM TV saying that ” don’t panic stocks are fullService stations are well equipped“. The company was indeed able to take precautions and organize itself thanks to the early notice of strike.
Beware of impulse buys
If the French company wants to be reassuring, its leader is still wary of precautionary purchases. He actually claims that I saw what some wanted to do precautionary purchases. And these precautionary purchases are dangerous because they can put unnecessary strain on the system.“. So it is asking motorists who have already filled their tank not to come in again to use it themselves, while it could take weeks to fill it if they normally drive quite a bit.
