The situation for motorists is improving in particular in Hauts-de-France, and the government has noted an improvement throughout the territory. According to the Minister for Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, “we are seeing an improvement. [Mardi] evening, we were at 22.8% “of service stations encountering supply difficulties, she said on Wednesday on France Info. With regard to Hauts-de-France, the minister points to “a very rapid improvement”, “where we have gone from 55% to less than 20% of stations which have at least one missing product”.
On the other hand, certain regions are still encountering difficulties, in particular Ile-de-France where still more than 30% of the stations see their service disrupted, but also Burgundy Franche Comté.
While the strike movement was renewed by the employees on Wednesday morning, Agnès Pannier-Runacher announced new requisitions of employees on the TotalEnergies site in Feyzin in the Rhône. “Ten people” will be requisitioned, she said.
