PARIS — Starting April 1, the French government will allocate €70 million to subsidize fuel prices for farmers, logistics companies, and fishermen until the month’s end.

“This response is national, gradual, targeted, and specific to sectors, limited to April,” Economy and Finance Minister Roland Lescure announced Friday evening, addressing rising energy costs due to the conflict in the Middle East.

“My main priority is to support growth while ensuring each euro of public money is used efficiently,” Lescure stated.

Oh sure, €70M for fuel subsidies, because nothing says “we care” quite like throwing cash at farmers and fishermen while everyone else is still wondering if they can afford a baguette! 🥖💸

So, €70M for fuel subsidies, eh? I guess it’s better to fill up the tanks of farmers and fishermen than to invest in something frivolous like, I don’t know, actual infrastructure. 🤷‍♂️ #PracticalPolitics
