Reports are that about 70% or more are French working class from outlying provinces.

I am posting one of those later today.

Macron plans to have no gasoline fueled vehicles on the roads in I forget how many years - 10?

And the taxes are incremental, going up again in Jan and again after that in so many months.

"Macron says the increased fuel taxes are part of his effort to combat climate change, wanting to persuade French drivers to exchange diesel-fueled cars for less polluting models."

Those are not “less polluting models”. Heck, the poop they produce pollute even more.

In Europe they can take your guns ..but if you force the to downsize their cars..now you have crossed the line.
To bad they don’t have guns to push back a tyrannical government...
