VOICED : Conductores de automoviles viejos protestan en Paris

A recent protest in Paris was sparked by a new law restricting vehicles registered before 1997 from circulating during weekdays. Many see this as discriminatory, as older vehicles, like a 1996 Honda Civic, are still functional and non-polluting. Protesters, including motorists, gathered at the Place de la Concorde to voice their concerns. The law aims to reduce air pollution, which is linked to a decrease in life expectancy for Parisians. Vehicles over ten years old contribute significantly to air pollution, prompting these measures to comply with EU regulations.
