Some Fuel Stations in France Face Shortages Amid Rising Prices
"I’ll give you a figure: as of this morning, around 18% of stations are missing at least one type of fuel," a government spokesperson and energy minister delegate says.
She notes that 83% of the affected stations belong to the TotalEnergies network, which recently implemented a price cap, creating a significant gap between its distribution network and other networks or independent stations.
Officials emphasize that crude oil deliveries to France continue normally, with no issues at refineries or storage depots. “The difference is between a shortage of material and logistical difficulties,” she adds, noting that measures are in place to ensure rapid resupply and that there is no risk of a true shortage.
Targeted support measures are expected in the coming days, but the government rules out a fuel price freeze at pumps or universal aid to address the energy crisis.
Authorities also stress that France is preparing for all scenarios in the region, from de-escalation to further conflict, warning that escalation could have serious consequences for the global economy.
