What happened

In response to soaring petrol prices, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is now considering the introduction of new targeted aid measures early next week.

Why it matters

Common ground

Spain implemented a 30-cent reduction at the pump, Italy has capped some taxes, and Lithuania has cut train ticket prices in half.
