In France, everyone wonders about the economic impact of this war. One question is already under tension, that of rising energy prices. This is the theme of the “One day in France” section, Saturday March 5.

In the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais), a fisherman has his eyes permanently riveted on fuel prices which continue to climb.With the conflict in Ukraine, inevitably it took on a dimension that we did not expect at all. We will ask ourselves the question is it worth going to sea or not?, he wonders. Anthony Stubborn, salaried fisherman, admit that if things continue thus, the profession no longer has a future.

In the Drôme, public buildings have been adorned with blue and yellow for a few days. Ukrainian flags are made in a local company. For the employees, it is a form of support.We see that on the news every night, flags everywhere, it’s also a bit of pride to be part of this tribute“, declares a employee. The conflict in Ukraine has also been invited to the Salon de l’Agriculture with breeders confronted with soaring energy prices. Rising feed prices are also a problem, especially for the poultry and pig sectors.
