France stopped. Over 60 percent citizens give up their lives because of fuel prices

Over 60 percent French citizens said in a survey that the jump in fuel prices forced them to give up some activities in their everyday lives, the BFMTV portal reported on Wednesday. E.g. 37 percent respondents gave up the idea of ​​going on holiday or a weekend, and 33 percent – from shopping trips.

In a study conducted by the Elabe center, 32 percent participants admitted that they had stopped going to the cinema or restaurant.

The authors of the survey estimate that this type of sacrifices in everyday life “affect all categories of the population”, although to a greater extent – active people. “Resignation from travel, related to the increase in gasoline prices, most strongly affects car drivers from small and medium-sized agglomerations” and with lower incomes – noted in the commentary.
