The objective is to distribute “as efficiently and fairly as possible” the envelope of 230 million euros voted in the National Assembly against the opinion of the executive, which favored aid of 50 million euros. Gabriel Attal reminds us that fuel oil today costs “1.55 euros per liter”because its price has “almost double of last year”.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced an additional device for the tariff shield, “first on fuel oil”. She also specified that‘”we must also support households that heat with wood”, without further details.
