A few piles
In recent weeks, dissatisfaction has been growing in France both among farmers who demonstrated on the country’s roads and among representatives of other professions. And not for nothing, the builders (builders and developers) are also very upset, and apparently they did not forget to report it. In fact, the latter demanded that the government maintain its non-road diesel (GNR) tax incentives similar to those given to farmers. And in order to hear them, the professionals undertook to block several fuel depots in Brittany. Then they concerned two, namely Lorian (from January 25) and Brest (from February 8). Fortunately, on the evening of Tuesday, February 13, the lock is removed. Construction professionals won their claim. The government has announced that it will fully offset the planned 2024 increase in citizenship tax for small construction and public sector companies. In Lorient, the city court decided to cancel the blocking of the deposit.
Europe has agreed to end the heat engine by 2035. However, the fuel tax is an important source of revenue for the French state. https://t.co/M17WH4kOC3

The situation has normalized
And this is under the threat of a fine of 500 euros per hour of presence, no later than 6:30 p.m. According to the prefecture, 30 out of 147 service stations in Finistère were out of fuel early yesterday. However, the public services have ensured that the supply of service stations is guaranteed for a long period, despite occasional difficulties. Well-established logistics in France allow supplies to be sent from other warehouses, although this logically takes longer than usual, leading to “turning points of a few hours”. The prefecture emphasized that this phenomenon was mostly related to the behavior of motorists was worried, which he predicted when he came to refuel. However, the situation remains under control, according to Francis Pousset, national president of Service Stations and New Energies at the Mobilians trade union. However, he was annoyed by the fact that his profession was once again a “hostage” of a conflict in which it is not a party.
