While they were not beneficiaries of aid on gas prices, HLM tenants and residents of condominiums will finally also be able to benefit from the system.
For all French people, gas prices were blocked – except in HLMs and condominiums. After weeks of uncertainty and controversy, the government acknowledged the problem on the morning of Wednesday February 16. And in the process, Matignon announced the extension of the tariff shield for 5 million French households.
In a HLM located in Grigny (Essonne), Brahim Allam, a tenant, began to seriously worry. His bill had gone from 76 euros to 120 euros. “When we learned that at the level of the private park, it was blocked and that we, in the social park, it was not blocked, we did not understand“, he confides. For this tenant, it was difficult to pay the bills. The details of the device will be specified in the coming days. Matignon indicated that households will not have to take any action.
