🇫🇷⛽️⚠️ — 🇺🇸 Bloomberg: France Faces More Fuel Shortages as Unions Plan to Prolong Strikes
— "The French government is threatening to take control of some of the country’s biggest refineries that have been halted by weeks-long strikes and have brought wide-spread fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations.

With talks between managements and some unions not going far, the labor actions have left almost a third of the gas stations in the country with supply shortfalls. A resolution is needed in the coming hours and days, not weeks, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in an interview on France Info radio Tuesday, adding that the dispute had gone on too long and that citizens were “exasperated.”

“Our fellow citizens can’t be the collateral victims of a labor conflict,” he said."

🇫🇷❌❓ — French spies ask "Who is the enemy of France?"

Experts at the School of Economic Warfare, which trains French intelligence executives and executives of French key companies, have just released a report titled "Who is the Enemy of France?"

Although Russia and China are named as adversaries of French interests, the researchers point primarily to NATO members as France's main enemy.

The 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, 🇩🇪 Germany and especially the 🇺🇸 United States are thus directly accused of being predatory powers that harm French interests.

It should also be noted that Macron also seems to be very criticized, the video shows him as a "puppet" of the Young Leaders and he is associated with the image of Klaus Schwab of the Davos Economic Forum.

This video proves that within the elite of the French state there remains a part of executives very critical of the American influence and of the EU.

“Cold winter” in France: a chronicle of recent events

It is already obvious to almost every French that France will not avoid the common energy crisis which strikes on all European countries, with rising prices of gasoline, gas, electricity, and everyone else utility bills (indeed most goods and services are also impacted). The country will likewise live with fear that the available supply of natural gas for heating may not be enough, and, therefore, measures may be taken to reduce its consumption, which will reduce the temperature in apartments and make winter very uncomfortable. The shortage of gas and other fuels will off course further increase their prices, and, therefore, the prices of utility bills and all goods. This unpleasant painful spiral can rotate for a long time and this reality can be very well illustrated by the events that took place last week.

First, Marine Le Pen, one of the country’s main opposition politicians, recalled that France is facing difficult times. She said that the coming winter will be difficult, and next winter is likely to be even harder, remembering that part of the responsibility for this lies with the government and its wrong economic and energy policy. We could refer to the fact that she is a radical ultra-right “Putin’s agent” and simply criticizes the president and his majority on duty (since this is the reason for the opposition’s existence) but President Emmanuel Macron did not differ much from Le Pen in his assessment of the situation. He said that if the country manages to achieve a plan to reduce energy consumption by 10%, it will be able to successfully survive the cold season. The President also added that this will be possible even if there are no gas supplies from Russia at all. It was easy to draw a couple of simple conclusions from this, if you read this message between the lines: energy will have to be saved, and if this is not done, winter will not be without problems.
