In short, given the thickness of the varnish, there is no need to add another layer. And then, we have to admit that with her miserable participation in the last presidential election, which cruelly reminded her that the French are not all Parisian bobos, we got the impression that she punished herself a little. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for him to resume his obsessive crusade against motorists.

But really, to plagiarize the tagline of a famous ad, why is it so mean? Of course, there is contempt for this type of transport, which is not the main one in such a metropolis as Paris. Snobbery with a certain tinge of contempt for the provincials. And also this position of the incorruptible opponent of CO2. But if we don’t pretend, this hatred for the Parisian chosen one’s car is probably also a bit over the top. Because actually, this is also his secret tool to get out of trouble as soon as the Parisians start to rumble. Can they no longer tolerate the endless work of hosting the Olympics? No problem for Madame Hidalgo, who paints her voodoo doll with the image of the driver and plants him another banderilla. This time it will be a carpool lane to add a little more congestion to a ring road that really needs it. But this is to save the planet.

Metropolitan local taxes experiencing dizzying growth? Well, we just have to overload the parking of hideous SUVs. And too bad if we look for the definition of “SUV” in a report signed by the WWF. It is important to send a signal that we are doing everything we can to destroy the lives of motorists under the guise of reducing CO2 emissions. The latest hassle for a Paris councillor, a pseudo-professional but above all very personal trip to Tahiti, paid for largely from city finances.

As a result, the ring road will travel at 50 km/h. The problem is that due to overuse, the download no longer has anything secret. And above all, how dare Ms. Hidalgo still lecture us about CO2 when her trip to the Pacific Ocean on business is estimated at eight tons of CO2, which is about as much as your car emits in… four years!
