On the night of Monday July 25 to Tuesday July 26, the opposition deputies voted a big boost for people heating with fuel oil. The voted amendment provides aid of 230 million euros for more than three million households.

In a house in Essonne, the fuel tank is 2,000 litres. What to hold the winter, but this year, the bill is salty. Indeed, in one year, the price of heating oil has almost doubled. To compensate for this increase, the deputies have just voted exceptional aid of 230 million euros intended for the French who heat themselves with fuel oil. A sum paid at the end of the year for more than three million households.

For John Roger Keraudrenretired, this help is welcome: “It is always good to take. How much will the aid be, and to whom will it be distributed? Questions still unanswered, because in the National Assembly, the measure was voted against all expectations on the night of Monday July 25 to Tuesday July 26, and against the advice of the government. The majority was therefore again beaten by the opposition. For Les Républicains, this amendment targets French people hitherto forgotten, especially in rural areas. An amendment which must still be voted on by the Senate, and applied by the government.
