The anger is mainly over a hike in the diesel fuel tax, which has gone up seven euro cents (nearly 10 cents Cdn) a litre and will keep climbing in coming years, according to Transport Minister Elisabeth Borne. The tax on gasoline is also to increase four euro cents. Gasoline currently costs about 1.64 euros a litre in Paris ($2.46 a litre Cdn), slightly more than diesel.

Yeah it's objectively a bad article because it assumes you know what's going on. I posted an excerpt from another article.

Not surprising. When you implement carbon tax, it's always the poor working class that gets affected the most.

Sin taxes also disproportionately hurt the working class rather than impact everyone in the way that a gas tax does while also creating the problem of a tax people can opt out of, which is not good for government revenue when projects need completing.
