The pressure is mounting, and the refiners' strike, thus leading to the shortage of a substantial part of the country's service stations, continues.
The government initially questioned the relevance of a “
preventive strike
”.
Now he raises his voice.
Like Emmanuel Macron who, on the sidelines of a trip to Mayenne, yesterday, felt that "
blocking is not a way of negotiating
".
Traveling to Algiers yesterday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne warned: “
It is in the negotiation between the management and the representatives of the employees that we must be able to find a solution and not by blocking the country.
Government spokesman Olivier Véran said this morning that the executive is exerting "
healthy pressure on the shoulders of all players
".
The message is clear: “
We will not let the French be penalised.
The blocking of refineries, depot centers must not rhyme with the blocking of the lives of millions of French people
, ”he firmly affirmed on RTL.
The Minister of Transport Clément Beaune affirms on RMC that "
social dialogue has resumed
and that a proposed agreement has been reached with Esso.
At Total, on the other hand, the situation is “
more blocked
” and the state of the discussions “
bogged down
”.
If the blockages continue, "
there is no taboo and all options are on the table
", warns the minister.
“
We will take additional measures so as not to leave France without fuel.
Olivier Véran sets out the possibility of “
proceeding with requisitions
”, “
reopening access to depot centers and refineries, and requisitioning the appropriate personnel to allow the situation to normalize
”.
