France Expands Fuel Price Relief for Workers
France expands targeted energy relief to help households cope with surging fuel costs driven by the Middle East conflict. The new measures double aid for low-income commuters and extend support to vulnerable sectors.
France will double targeted fuel relief to 5.5 million low-income drivers, committing an extra €450 million. The expansion comes as soaring pump prices trigger protests by fishermen and stoke public anger over living costs. Rising energy costs threaten the government's fiscal targets ahead of next year's presidential election.
