#1 Behind it all:

The raise of taxes on petrol and diesel started the whole thing. Over 50% in six months. Unbearable for people out of the cities who need their cars to go to work. Ecology being the easy false pretext, as we all know that this money does not go to any ecological project. Typical leftie drivel.

On the same pretext they raised the standards of the technical control on cars older than 5 years, to a point that many people will have to ditch their only means of transportation, or drive illegally. Once again the pretext is ecology, whereas the real reason is an agreement with the car industry.

There was also a 7% tax on retirement pensions.
