French president Emmanuel Macron already unveiled new incentives to sway buyers away from Chinese models toward French and European ones, including a new €100 per month leasing scheme for EU-made electric cars, with those details announced today. The French government also announced a big rollout of cash incentives for first-time EV buyers, as long as they bought cars made in the EU.

        He was always like this and has been distributing public money left and right. France’s public spending and taxation as a share of GDP are at all time highs.

        It’s just the French left thinks everybody to their right is a spawn of Reagan and Thatcher.

        It’s so nationalistic and anti China that it came full circle.
