Emmanuel Macron announces measures to increase purchasing power.

Purchasing power is a problem that worries the French. During an interview given to regional dailies on Friday June 3, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, announced various measures to compensate for the decline in purchasing power of the French, as deciphered by journalist Dorothée Lachaud. The food check is maintained, but contrary to what was previously revealed, it will be paid in one go. In addition, this check should ultimately concern all types of food and not just local and organic products as was mentioned. Eight million people could be entitled to this check. Regarding the measures affecting food, they will be specified by the government at the end of June.

The President of the Republic has not only announced food aid since he also wishes to reduce the price of petrol by 18 cents until the end of August. This aid concerns all French people this time. However, for a system with more durability, other announcements should be issued in the fall of 2022 for those who drive the most.
