A strike has been going on all over France for almost a week now. Indeed, oil refinery workers, garbage collectors or even railway workers, among others, all rose up to protest the pension reform introduced by the government. We will remind, now the age of termination of employment has been moved from 62 to 64 years as a minimum for all employees. Meera, who obviously has a lot of trouble reaching them. But what worries drivers also can not find fuel, due to the strike at the refinery. But here’s why we shouldn’t worry too much.

A few breaks

However, some service stations in France are already out of stock. But in reality, there are very few of them, since this applies to only 5% of them. That is, a trifle on the scale of the entire country. In fact, it’s even less disturbing. Because in fact 4.2% of resorts do not have at least one type of fuel. So they’re not completely empty either, rest assured. In general, the situation is the most tense on weekends, so it is better to avoid precautionary refueling during this already busy period. But it is installed at the beginning of the week.

It’s OK

Of course, the situation is very heterogeneous throughout France. But in fact, only 9 departments exceed the bar of 10% of the so-called service stations “in trouble”. Which is very little and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Among them are Mayenne, Endre and Loire or even Sarthes. The Ile-de-France region has also been affected, but there is nothing to worry about now, no matter where you live. So be sure.
