Pierre Chasseray, of the 40 million motorists association, denounces a “cowardly vote”

“We are on a cowardly vote”denounces Sunday February 4 on franceinfo Pierre Chasseray, spokesperson for the 40 million motorists association, while Parisians are called to vote this Sunday for or against the tripling of parking prices for heavy, bulky and polluting cars, 4x4s and SUVs in particular.

“We know very well that the strong argument used by the city is ‘an SUV, it pollutes more, it consumes more, and it’s bigger’. It’s totally false”says Pierre Chasseray, “because the French SUV, the Renault Kadjar, Captur, the 2008, the 3008, the HRV at Honda, these vehicles are smaller than most sedans.” These SUVs have “besides, it makes the family minivans that we no longer see disappear”adds the spokesperson for 40 million motorists.

Pierre Chasseray believes that “the question asked by the City of Paris is a truism: they are asking Parisians if they agree to make those who live outside the ring road pay more, so obviously they will vote yes!”scathes the spokesperson for 40 million motorists, who speaks of a question “purely ideological: we ask people if they want fewer cars from others, that doesn’t make sense”. The price increase, subject to the approval of Parisians, will not concern those who already have a residential rate in the capital.
