I can respect Macron. He put the cost of environmentalist virtue signaling right on the pumps where everyone could see them. "You want to fight global warming? Here you go! Did you think it was going to be free?"

So you want government efectively outlawing your perfectly fine working vehicle?

Its not about getting out of tune clunk junkers off the streets.

Even here in America sh1tty cars 20 years old that everyone knows are not taken care of are not emissions tested, but my vehicle that is 6 years old and compter controlled and adjusted and adaptive must be tested for emissions.

Cmon be smarter than that. Its about control.

No different than a LOT of folks on FR who claim to espouse conservatism and self reliance while never donating to FR (and probably other causes)...or those who want Trump to keep his promises but who also bitch when the short term effects affect them too...or the concern trolls who constantly jump on any rumor and give the bad rumors more credence that they give President Trump

Then again, there's the notion that one can equate a country's government's agenda with what the subjects actually want....the only thing those willing to be subjects to the government want is "free stuff" handily paid for by others...in any country.
