Fuel Prices: Middle East Conflict Strikes 15 Million French Citizens

Rising oil and gas prices stemming from the Middle East conflict are intensifying pressure on low-income households forced to rely on their gas-powered vehicles daily. Climate Action Network (CAN) is calling for emergency support targeted at the most vulnerable households and demanding accelerated exit from fossil fuels to strengthen France's resilience against geopolitical volatility. According to the organization, using oil or gas as pressure leverage against Europe constitutes a direct threat to which only energy transition can provide a lasting response.
