Protests against France’s ecotax continued Saturday, despite the government’s suspension of the controversial levy on road freight. Three control portals were attacked and morotways were blocked in the south of France, although Brittany, the scene of large protests over the last few weeks, was relatively calm.
Only a few hundred people took part in anti-ecotax protests on Friday night and Saturday, compared to tens of thousands who rallied against the measure a week before.
