The strike has been going on for more than a week. Since March 7, many workers of all industries have protested against the pension reform. Promised by Emmanuel Macron during his re-election campaign, it will push the starting age from 62 to 64. And it obviously has a lot of trouble getting to the French. So garbage collectors, lorry drivers and railway workers went on strike to force the government to reconsider its plans. Refinery workers are also concerned, although the CGT has announcedlarge piles.

Low voltage

Which, obviously, causes fears about the shortage, and motorists still remember the past October period. But in reality the situation is far from that. Because if some refineries are really standing, then the deficit is very far.

Especially since these data refer to stations where one type of fuel may be missing.

Many inequalities

Thus, it happens that some simply do not exist anymore lead-free 98 Example. In short, nothing too alarming at the moment. However, not all departments are in the same boat. In particular, Indre was the most affected: 10% of distributors are partially or completely missing. Calvados is next, Vienna or Endre et Loire, among others. The Val d’Oise also suffered, while the east of the country is still fairly well preserved at the moment.
