According to the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, less than a 25% of petrol stations across France were experiencing shortages, which is less than the 30% percent previously. Strike action and unplanned maintenance have made more than 60 percent of France’s refining capacity — or 740,000 barrels per day (bpd) — offline which in turn enforced the country to import more amid the increased energy costs due to the global supply uncertainty.[1] Strikes have further erupted into other sectors such as energy, "including nuclear giant EDF, where maintenance work crucial for Europe’s power supply will be delayed."[1] There have been weeks of strikes at oil refineries for higher salaries which led to calls for a nationwide and general strike.[3][1]
