Citizen Danilo Tomic created this petition online , which was not the only one, requesting the suspension of bill payments. This was the only one with more than 50,000 support directed to the federal parliament and not to governors and mayors.
Due to the quarantine, many people lost jobs, income or even had their work contracts temporarily suspended or reduced. In the face of this scenario, there was this pressure to suspend water, light and gas charges, essential items in this pandemic!
The author of the petition stressed that France has taken measures to protect and reassure the population about these charges. The petition, which had more than 306,000 signatures in support, is directly related to PL 3641/2020, which is still awaiting deliberation in the Chamber of Deputies and which had only 17 signatures there in April in support of the matter.
