Unleaded gasoline has reached a historic record in France, according to a report by France 24. Diesel, meanwhile, is also approaching its highest level ever recorded.
Facing this surge in pump prices, the French government is opting for a response based on targeted assistance rather than across-the-board measures, France 24 reports.
This spike in prices is fueling growing discontent, with an increase in mobilization efforts, according to the same source. The report does not specify the exact scale of these movements or detailed price figures.
France 24 does not indicate at this stage what additional measures authorities might consider if the situation were to persist.
