"French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced a suspension of hikes to fuel taxes in an effort to appease a protest movement that plunged Paris into chaos last weekend.
Philippe said the planned increases, which have provoked violent riots and were set to be introduced in January, will be suspended for six months."
I'm so torn about this story. I find it hilarious that for all "rahh rahhh stop global warming" even small increases in gas taxes leads to literal riots. I find it disappointing that terrorism was successful, caving in to those who use violence for political causes isn't a good thing. But then again its France so its funny that they even manage to surrender against themselves.
