“In June, Le Maire said he had secured a pledge from 75 top food companies to cut prices on hundreds of products from July to reflect lower raw material costs. But he said on Tuesday that less than half of them had made good on their promise and he wanted more to join the effort.”

Weird that these companies didn’t keep their word. Who could’ve seen that coming?

They should really know better than to mess with the French. Historically, that has almost never ended well

The riots earlier this year were wild. I imagine just outing which companies lied would be enough to get people to boycott them. I hope the govt would take an additional stance though.
