Starting in 2014, under Macron's predecessor and erstwhile boss François Hollande, the French government has been ratcheting up fuel duty, saying that this will encourage motorists to adopt greener forms of transport.

Adopt what greener forms of transport? Maybe I was wrong, maybe French President Moron is an idiot.

There are plenty of Parisians who complain incessantly about pollution (I’m one of them). However, in the rural and exurban areas from which the ‘yellow vest’ revolt emerged, vehicle pollution is not exactly at the top of the agenda. Amid this divide between an uncomprehending Parisian elite and left-behind rural workers, it is unsurprising that these protests sprang up without the support or affiliation of any political party.

And just what the hell does “national consultation on ecological and social transition” mean ????? Was there something lost in translation?
