On February 1st, the highway toll rates will increase by 1.8%.
Since 2006, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Debout La France have been denouncing the scandal of the privatization of French highways, which were built with taxpayer money. The tolls have become machines for extorting motorists and generate nearly 2 billion euros in profits each year for large private groups.
That is why Nicolas Dupont-Aignan is calling for the state to buy back the highway companies at the price they were sold for in 2006, and to reduce toll rates for all highways already paid for by the French people.
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan has sent an open letter to Minister Bruno Le Maire to put an end to this extortion, and Debout La France is organizing activist operations across France to raise awareness among the French.
