Energiesicherheit in Frankreich

[Schneemann]

Ich stelle es mal hier ein. Anscheinend gibt es derzeit Engpässe bei der Belieferung von Tankstellen in Frankreich. Ich kann es selbst nicht bestätigen und auch zwei Verwandte, die aktuell bei Montpellier unterwegs sind, haben nichts bemerkt (kann aber natürlich auch lokale Unterschiede geben), aber die Meldung geisterte an mir vorbei.

French government ramps up blame game as strikes lead to fuel shortages

Long queues are forming at petrol stations across the country.

PARIS — The French government is feeling the heat as strikes at oil refineries and storage facilities have led to fuel shortages across the country.

Budget Minister Gabriel Attal on Monday blamed hard-left union CGT, which has been leading the strikes over the situation as long lines have formed in front of petrol stations over the past few days. "The heart of this problem is the blocking of refineries and fuel depots by the CGT, which wants to anticipate a number of discussions on wages," Attal told FranceInter radio. "It [has been] a nightmare weekend for millions of motorists." [...]

As of Sunday afternoon, about a third of fuel stations in France were experiencing supply "difficulties" for at least one fuel product, according to an Energy Ministry spokesperson. [...]

Several ministers last week ramped up the pressure on oil companies, urging them to engage in negotiations with unions and highlighting their hefty profits. TotalEnergies on Sunday said it would bring forward annual salary negotiations but only if trade unions stopped the strike. In a statement quoted by Reuters, CGT slammed TotalEnergies' proposal as "blackmail."
