Macron, the President of France, has asked the government to take immediate actions to normalize fuel supply in the country. In this regard, he stressed the importance of ensuring the supply of necessary items and making sure there is enough fuel available.
Fuel Supply and Current Situation
According to Berjon's statements, officials are considering giving more flexibility to refineries so they can adjust the system more effectively. This action could help reduce fuel prices or slow the rate of price increases.

Currently, about 10 percent of gas stations in France are facing shortages of at least one type of fuel. Most of these facilities are part of the TotalEnergies network, and this situation could lead to increased concerns about fuel supply in the country.
Global Impacts on Fuel Prices
On September 14, a report from Germany was published indicating that the country is also facing rising gasoline prices. According to this report, the price of a liter of super E10 gasoline at gas stations in Germany has reached 2.273 euros, which is considered a historic record. One of the main factors for this increase is the high price of crude oil, which has significantly risen due to escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf region.
In this situation, Macron has instructed the government to make every effort to improve the fuel supply situation and prevent further crises. These developments occur while the global energy market faces multiple challenges, and fuel supply in various countries is affected by these challenges.
