A sign of what is to come for the rest of Europe as the world runs out of fuel
From the link:
The government also proposed a so-called “fuel golden rule” for its 2027 budget, under which any additional tax revenue generated by rising fuel prices would be neutralised and redirected towards measures supporting consumers…France’s fuel taxes are higher than many of its European nations…
Interesting that they didn’t just suspend/reduce the fuel tax instead of collecting it and then figuring out ways to redistribute the money.

Not really. Besides, it’s a good feeling (for them) to decide who is most deserving of the redirected funds.
