Gasoline stations in France are facing issues getting enough supplies to meet demand amid a strike announced by workers of energy giant TotalEnergies.

“There are temporary problems regarding distribution,” French government spokesman Olivier Veran told RMC Radio and BFMTV. Although 15 percent of the country’s gas stations were experiencing such “temporary difficulties” overall, 90 percent of stations in the capital city of Paris were facing no issues, he said. However, 10 percent of city stations are facing problems in securing enough fuel supplies.
