The French began to issue coupons for firewood
On December 27, the French government began issuing coupons for firewood to heat their homes to residents of some parts of the country. According to Ouest France, the authorities were forced to take such a measure due to the energy crisis in Europe and the sharp rise in electricity prices at the beginning of winter.
The amount of the check, which is issued under the state support program for the most vulnerable segments of the population, varies from 50 to 200 euros. According to experts, in France, about 2.6 million households heat their premises with firewood, and about 70% of them will be able to use "energy checks".
Now residents of the European country are collecting documents in order to receive a coupon for firewood from the state to help.
