Discount at the pump extended until the end of the year

It would be paid "according to the level of income", he added, without specifying the ceiling which could be fixed, leaving that to the parliamentary debate on the purchasing power package.

This aid would therefore go further than the compensation dedicated to "big riders", that is to say who "do more than 12,000 km per year", mentioned for a time by the government, because "there are plenty of people who do not travel 12,000 km a year, who take their car to go to work and who can no longer make ends meet,” detailed Bruno Le Maire.

A discount of 18 centimes per liter of fuel has been applied at the pump for all motorists since April 1 to mitigate the impact of soaring oil prices, and the Purchasing Power Law will propose to extend it until the end of April. end of August.

The Minister of the Economy has already proposed to the opposition to extend this aid until the end of the year.
