To cope with the rise in energy and fuel prices, the government of Jean Castex announced in September "the establishment of exceptional social assistance of 100 euros for all households who benefit from the energy check".
But the payment of this aid by companies raises questions.

This leader also believes that it is not the role of companies to pay this check.
She would have liked the government not to call on the private sector to distribute it.
