CLEAN : French truckers protest against diesel tax hike on Belgian border

Transporters in France are protesting a new government tax that adds 2 cents per liter of fuel, significantly impacting their already low profit margins. Initially, the tax was meant to target foreign vehicles, but it now affects only French companies. This has led to widespread frustration among transporters, who see it as the last straw in a series of fiscal burdens. Additional measures in 2020 will further impact their operations, particularly those using specific types of diesel. The protest highlights the growing discontent among transporters over fiscal policies.
