Several petrol stations in southeastern France are currently affected by fuel shortages as part of the refinery strikes against Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform. According to data consulted by France Presse, the situation in the rest of the country seems overall stable. Today, as of 10:30 in the morning, about 8% of the country’s gas stations were low on gasoline or diesel. Numerous departments are experiencing a more worrying situation due, according to a trade union, to a sort of “panic” effect linked to the appeal of various union leaders to fill up with petrol. In the Bouches-du-Rhone department, not far from Italy, the shortage affects 50% of the service stations. Double-digit percentage also in the neighboring departments of Gard (40.9%), Vaucluse (33.33%), Var (23.24%) and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (22.22%).
