The 'crisis' a.k.a a shortage of supply, has been brought on by moronic Macron decisions of decommissioning the power generation before an alternative was found. That's not a crisis..that bad planning
Macron, a mid level government functionary, who may or may not have been competent, who gambled on a big time political career and pulled a bait and switch on the voters, when he left the Socialist Party to found a new party that is new and improved, warmed-over socialism.
