Hundreds of thousands of people have turned out in the streets of France to protest French President Emmanuel Macron’s left-wing climate change policies which include increasing taxes that are highly burdensome to the working class.
“As part of his environmental policy strategy, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a green tax on fuel last month to go into effect Jan. 1,” NPR reported on Monday. “The move set off nearly a month of protests around France. The French Interior Ministry estimates 136,000 protesters turned out across the country over the weekend, in addition to 280,000 in previous weeks.”
