1,000 euros increase in one year
This is the case of these two butcher brothers, based in Lilas in Seine-Saint-Denis, met by Europe 1. The two bosses saw the amount of their electricity bill explode: 1,400 euros per month a year ago , 2,400 euros now.
"What will be expensive in the first place are the cold rooms and the display cases. Secondly, we will have the ovens, so we do two firings a day maximum. Before, there were four of us, sometimes five rounds. There , I can't afford it anymore," laments one of the brothers.
Lots of new habits have been adopted by these two merchants, such as turning off the window and unplugging the computers at night.
Margins have also been reduced, which should make it possible to pass the course and retain the 24 employees.
Slim would still like to be more supported by the state and it is for this reason that he will demonstrate this Monday.
"France, without craftsmanship, is no longer France. We are renowned worldwide for our talents in butchery, in pastry, in catering. So we have to support that, protect our craftsmen “, insists the manager.
Especially since beyond energy prices, everything has increased, explains Slim: raw materials, packaging and even soap.
