“This left-wing bill is a frontal assault on motorists and freedom of movement, disguised behind false ecological concerns. By imposing drastic restrictions on car traffic in city centers and making public transport free without a realistic financial vision, this text unfairly penalizes all those who depend on their vehicles to work or live outside city hubs. Furthermore, the establishment of rigid state housing targets destroys the local balance of urban planning and threatens our living environment. It is a punitive and sectarian vision of land-use planning. We vote no to this punitive ecology!”
