End of aid for diesel: in Brittany, fishing on the edge of the abyss

Already threatened by the bans on fishing zones linked to Brexit, the entire fishing industry is “on the brink of collapse”. The reasons for the concern of a sector which has tens of thousands of jobs in lower Brittany alone? The end on October 15 of public aid for diesel, currently 20 cents per liter, put in place in March 2022 after the start of the war in Ukraine. A brutal end which would have the consequence of seeing the sailors go to sea at a loss.
