More than two thirds of French people (69%) denounce “one more constraint” and a “gadget measure” proposed by the Citizen’s Climate Convention.
–More than two thirds of French people are against lowering speed on the highway from 130 to 110 km / h, according to an Elabe poll for the Climate Action Network unveiled by Le Parisien-Today-in-France. A score which confirms that of a previous survey carried out by Odoxa for Le Figaro and France Info and published a few days ago. Almost three-quarters of French people (74%) overwhelmingly rejected this proposal made by the Citizens’ Convention and for which Emmanuel Macron will provide a “first response” Monday June 29.
The French opposed to this proposal denounce “one more constraint», «a gadget measure», «demagogic” or “a red cloth that is waved under the bull’s nose” They also highlight the loss of time on a long journey and falling asleep. “It’s a massive rejection, comments Laurence Bedeau, partner at Elabe. But it is probably because drivers underestimate the weight of the private car in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the impact that a drop of 20 km / h can have on polluting emissions. So, they say what good is it. »
Last week, the association 40 million motorists launched an online petition against this proposal and claims to have received 400,000 signatures.
