The government is preparing targeted measures to help big wheels
to pay for their gasoline this summer, announced this Monday, March 14 the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire.
I am working at the request of the Prime Minister on devices targeted at people with the lowest incomes, who use their vehicle because they have no alternative solution, and who are heavy riders
said the Minister to the automotive industry at an event in Paris.
This quasi-automatic mechanism that can be triggered, for those who need it most, when fuel prices explode
is under development and will be ready in several months
according to Bruno Le Maire.
An installation this summer
The goal is that by July 31, we have put in place a measure that will affect those who are the most dependent, the big rollers. This will be implemented from this summer
underlined for her part the Minister of Ecological Transition Barbara Pompili on RTL.
As inflation sets in, the government has multiplied aid and measures since the fall to limit the rise in energy prices or mitigate its impact.
In addition to the pump discount of 15 cents
Latest decision, less than a month before the presidential election, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced on Saturday a “discount at the pump of 15 centimes per liter” of fuel, from April 1 and for four monthsfor both individuals and businesses.
The prices of all fuels, and in particular diesel, have been rising continuously for more than two months, in France as in the rest of Europe and elsewhere, making it one of the important topics of the electoral campaign, with the inflation in general. The rise was caused by oil production failing to keep pace with the strong global economic recovery, which was further accelerated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Jean Castex must also present a government aid plan on Wednesday to deal more broadly with the economic and social consequences of the war in Ukraine.
