France: Macron orders mobilization over fuel shortages and security

fuel shortage energy crisis Emmanuel Macron infrastructure security TotalEnergies

French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered a 'total mobilization' of the government to address rising fuel prices and supply shortages. Government spokesperson Maud Bregeon stated that approximately 10 percent of gas stations are experiencing difficulties supplying at least one type of fuel, with most of these affected stations belonging to the TotalEnergies network.

To stabilize the situation, the administration is seeking increased flexibility in European refinery regulations and is working to secure fuel supplies from international sources. The fuel crisis has triggered social unrest, including Mediterranean fishermen blocking oil warehouses, and has prompted calls for protests reminiscent of the 'Yellow Vests' movement.

In a separate but related security matter, Macron has also directed the government to prepare a plan to protect critical infrastructure, such as defense industry sites, from drone and cyber attacks. He cited intensifying Russian hybrid threats as a primary concern. Additionally, Macron announced plans to convene a G7 meeting in the coming weeks to coordinate a global response to the ongoing energy crisis, which he linked to conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
