DECRYPTION

You have certainly noticed it, if you are a motorist: fuel prices are once again on the rise.

For diesel, count €1.88 per liter on average.

The effect of reductions of 15 to 18 centimes per liter has been less felt in recent days.

This reduction device is also not eternal since it stops at the end of July.

The government is already considering replacing it with targeted measures.

In the direction of health professionals first, with exceptional financial aid of 15 cents per liter announced by Health Insurance.

Help more specifically for liberal caregivers, those who need to travel the most.

It is in addition to the discount at the pump in effect since April 1.

The device is already effective and takes the form of a revaluation of the mileage allowances which are granted to those who travel to the homes of patients.

This compensation had been requested since last fall, so it is welcomed by the profession.

Even if the concern remains, since it will only be effective, too, until July 31.

Better target household needs

The government also wants to help high rollers, motorists who drive a hundred kilometers a day.

It will also be for after July 31.

A device that will replace the 15 to 18 cents cut at the pump and will help those who have no choice but to take their car to work.

After the emergency measure, Bercy is now working to better target households according to their level of income, their vehicle, the number of kilometers driven, etc.

This logic can still evolve according to the composition of the next government, but what is certain is that the aid will not stop suddenly in the middle of summer.
