I put here the same thing I posted yesterday :
For those who think the french people changed its mind on climate change, here are some demands of the Gilets Jaunes movement :
Big housing insulation plan (doing ecology while allowing household to save money)
End the CICE (companies tax break). Use this money to create a French hydrogen car enterprise.
Favor cargo transportation by rail.
And according to polls, 93% of the population believes in climate change, 76% believe it's a worrisome problem, 59% think the problem is underestimated.
The French people is rejecting this tax because it's unfair to the poorest, not because it's related to climate change.

I'm not sure the truckers - who have been largely present with the so-called "gilets" from the 17th some using their trucks as roadblocks - will be liking that too much.
