“Fuel allowance” of 100 euros in almost half of French households

by

The prime minister of the country announced the provision of a “fuel allowance” of 100 euros to the “weaker French people who need their car to go to work”.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Bourne today announced the provision of a €100 “fuel allowance” to “the economically weaker French who need their car to get to work”.

This assistance concerns “about half of the households”, the prime minister emphasized while speaking to the RTL television station and noted that the beneficiaries should submit the relevant application online, stating their car’s number plate and filing an affidavit that they need their car to reach their place of work.

It is noted that this targeted and one-off aid follows the current French “discount at the pump”, which is intended to disappear at the end of the year, as a result of which increases in fuel prices are expected.

In the same interview, Bourne said France could get through this winter without power outages if the country makes a concerted effort to save energy.

“Frankly speaking, let’s stop, there’s no need to panic,” Bourne said, echoing a similar call by President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week.

Yesterday, Tuesday, the French president described as “absurd” concerns about possible blackouts that will hit the country’s infrastructure this winter and insisted that France will cope with the cold waves despite the energy crisis sweeping Europe.
