Are we going to go through the same situation again as it was last October? Of course, everyone hopes not. Because the memory of endless queues in front of the service station still lives in the memory, and no one wants to experience it. At the moment, although some regions are experiencing tension, the situation is still under control and no shortage is expected in the near future. Specialists do remind that stocks are full and can easily last for several weeks. Today, only a small percentage of stations actually exist out of stock.

A new deficit?

But while the strike is against pension reform has been going on for several days and the mobilization is getting bigger and bigger, the situation can get complicated. In any case, this is what Emmanuel Lepin, general secretary of the National Federation of the Chemical Industry CGT (FNIC-CGT), promises. Answering a question from France Info, the latter explains that “no product leaves any refinery Today“. For their part, the distributors explained a few days ago that the deposits are not on strike and that deliveries to France continue.

Tense situation

But it can get complicated. Indeed, some warehouses are now also blocked, for example in Marseille and Le Havre. For his part, Emmanuel Lepin warns that the shortage of fuel will increase. However, you should not panic and even more so go and fill the tank to add five liters if you do not need it. Because the current shortage is caused by this full of precautions which are depleting service stations faster than expected.
