Mass protests in France

No-one ever voted for austerity

RT

Hundreds of protesters took on police blockades in the French city of Quimper on Saturday, after thousands gathered to call for a complete end to the country's eco-tax. Tear gas and water hoses were used by police, while protesters threw rocks, bottles, and small self-made bombs. The eco-tax was due to be implemented from 2014 on transport vehicles delivering goods around the country, but has since been indefinitely suspended. Bretons say the eco-tax should never again be allowed to enter French litigation.
