..he has to get hit in the head every other week...
If you read the French language media, there is no promise not to put it back in.
And then, when no one is looking, he will implement some other law that controls the people more. The slow boiling of the frog will continue.

The only surprise is that the original statement said a suspension of the tax for six months...putting it right up to the date of the EU election in the spring. No shocker for them to realize that was a very poor decision. So now....a full year.
Macron has burnt just about each bridge that he’s crossed...today, if you held the election...he’d probably only clear 15-percent of the national vote (if this were opened up to the dozen-odd political parties that exist).
He is done. Stepped on his “ Johnson “ and there is no going back. He needs to call out the Gendarmerie now.
Of course the tax is going to be reintroduced.
Socialist are firm believers in the carrot and stick method of government.
They use financial incentives to get people to do what the government wants. Subsidize what you want more of and tax what you want less of.
The government wants the people to stay home and freeze in the dark, so they are going to tax the H out of fuel.
A caller to Rush’s show (a substitute) said he and his daughter visited Paris a few days ago, in the thick of the protests. The protestors were shouting, “Trump! Trump!” Of course, our MSM edited that out.
So... What are the students’ “grievances”?
The 2015 “Paris Climate Accord” goes up in smoke.
Thank you President Trump for sticking a fork this marxist scheme.
It appears globalist Macaroni has bitten off more than he can chew.
The Yellow Vests shouldn’t settle for anything short of Macron’s (and his government’s) resignation.
Guillotining him and his cronies would be better, though.
.......could be arriving with le guillotine, non?........
Lots of unintended consequences for Macron. The protests and dissatisfaction have spilled over to other areas beyond taxes. His political opponents are having a field day.
He said he’d rule like “Jupiter”. Bet Jupiter never had days like this . . . . . .
Macron has found that life sucks without USA dollars to fund government stupidity based on the lie of anthropogenic climate warming global change.
Or whatever this BS is called lately.
