[quote]French President Emmanuel Macron has scrapped a carbon fuel tax rise amid fears of new violence, after weeks of nationwide protests and the worst rioting in Paris in decades.
One of the activists leading France's protest movement says that he fears more deaths if Saturday's demonstration goes ahead. Christophe Chalencon said that "if not there will be chaos," with risks of more deaths.
Chalencon said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that the grassroots movement, triggered by ever increasing tax hikes in the name of climate change has pushed the people to a breaking point. I'm afraid the cancelling on the newest fuel taxes won't be enough, a giant has been prodded long enough and it's going to take a lot to calm that giant. Ever increasing costs due to millions of migrants has seen taxes rise in every area, enough is enough, don't try and sell us on saving the planet, it's about getting us to fund their social agenda.
