| Subject: Wonderful! Macron ABANDONS hated fuel tax rise as he surrenders to demands by Yellow Vest protesters Wed Dec 05, 2018 4:57 pm | |
| French President Emmanuel Macron has abandoned his hated fuel tax after weeks of violent protest and will considering buckling to another 'yellow vest' demand to tax the rich.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told lawmakers that 'the tax is now abandoned' in the 2019 budget, and the government is 'ready for dialogue' on Wednesday.
Three weeks of carnage involving blocked roads and fuel depots have left four people dead.
Ending the ISF 'wealth tax' on high earners was a key part of Macron's pro-business presidential campaign, seen as a way of encouraging people to invest and hire in France.
