The last straw for many was the government's decision to phase out by 2030 a tax break on diesel fuel for farm machinery.

President Emmanuel Macron's government is at pains to avoid a repeat of the massive 2018-19 "yellow vests" protests -- also triggered by a rise in diesel prices.

Leftist have never seen a tax they didn’t like.

Why is it a mystery to these people that cheep energy is a driver of economic growth.

Maybe, just maybe, the Leftist don’t want a strong economy.

Isn't the plan is to do away with farming that causes "climate change" and let the people eat bugs?
