Hello everyone. Once again, the 20 Minutes editorial team is working to give you all the information on the surge in fuel prices. While the purchasing power of the French continues to be eroded by gasoline purchases, the government is preparing to announce new aid but its budget margin remains slim.

The government will present this Tuesday new aid to the French people most affected by the surge in fuel prices, while its budgetary room for maneuver is reduced and international constraints are set to last.

During a press conference in Bercy, ministers Maud Bregeon (spokesperson and Energy), Roland Lescure (Economy), David Amiel (Public Accounts), Stéphanie Rist (Health), Catherine Chabaud (Sea and Fisheries) and Serge Papin (SME, Commerce) will each present the measures falling within their scope, intended to “support households, businesses and the most exposed sectors”.

Sébastien Lecornu held two meetings with ministers on Monday: one in the morning on oil and gas supplies, disrupted by the dragging out war in the Middle East, and the other in the afternoon, dedicated to “short and medium term support” for the French in the face of soaring prices at the pump.
