Energy shortage: Macron wants to use war on Iran to wage class war in France

French President Emmanuel Macron is using the energy crisis caused by Trump's war against Iran as a pretext to impose austerity measures. TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné warned of an impending energy shortage, stating that if the war and blockade last more than three months, France will face serious supply problems. Macron contradicted Pouyanné, saying the situation is under control and that shortages are not probable. The International Energy Agency released 400 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserves on March 11, but this will not resolve the crisis if the war continues. Experts, including Thierry Bros, a professor at the Political Sciences Institute, confirmed Pouyanné's warnings, stating that shortage is at Europe's doorstep. Macron's government has not condemned Trump's war against Iran or the blockade cutting off Europe's energy supply.
