From the article:
” France is also cracking down on the use of private jets for short journeys in a bid to make transport greener and fairer for the population.”
”Transport minister Clément Beaune said the country could no longer tolerate the super rich using private planes while the public are making cutbacks to deal with the energy crisis and climate change.”
- hulitu 4y ago> transport minister Clément Beaune said the country could no longer tolerate the super rich using private planes I'm sure this is a misunderstanding. With a small donation for the party, everyone will be happy.
- varispeed 4y ago> France is also cracking down This is a soundbite designed to calm people down. If there was a "crackdown", they would have listed steps taken to ensure the transport is "fairer". When government is saying they are "cracking down" - using quite emotionally loaded word - is precisely to cover up the fact they do nothing. If they really wanted to make transport fairer, they would have banned short private jet trips too. There is no excuse to not do that. None.
