Right
Highlights the government requirement imposed on TotalEnergies and its effects on consumption and purchasing power. Relays the decree on strategic stocks, aid for large drivers and employer bonus.

Non seulement le gouvernement laisse TotalEnergies dicter les termes du débat, mais l’exécutif se refuse à taxer les profits de l’entreprise pour les redistribuer. Un comble ou le cynisme des uns nourrit l’inaction des autres, selon l’économiste.
