A protester wearing a red cap, the symbol of protest in Brittany, displays one of the Breton regional flags during a demonstration demanding jobs to be maintained and an “ecotax” on commercial trucks to be scrapped, in Nantes, yesterday. The “ecotax” is a new environmental tax on heavy goods vehicles which the French government hopes to implement, through which it aims to raise more than ($1.38bn a year to finance mostly rail infrastructure projects.
