Be careful not to get the brushes tangled.
This Sunday, Parisians will have to position themselves
for
or
against
a differentiated parking rate for SUVs in the capital.
And the complex wording of ballots can lead to confusion.
Because the voting question is not “Are you for or against SUVs”, but “Are you for or against a specific rate for the parking of heavy, bulky, polluting individual cars?
".
Thus, wanting to reduce the place of SUVs in Paris implies voting
for
an increase in the price of parking for SUVs: you will have to choose the “for” ballot… And vice versa: being for SUVs will push you to vote
against
this increase.
Good evening @Florent_Giry, I don't understand the question asked on the voting slips, no reference to SUVs.
4 polling stations in central Paris, 4 in the 15th, 3 times more populated ❗️
Looking forward to the repeal of the PLM law to rediscover the democracy that annoys you so much.

These 4 x 4-looking vehicles are in the sights of Paris City Hall and environmental activists, who intend to continue reducing the space given to cars in the capital.
According to an OpinionWay survey, 61% of residents of the capital would be in favor of more onerous taxation for these “heavy, polluting and bulky” vehicles, according to the description of the City of Paris.
Which intends to “respond to several challenges of
security, sharing of public space and pollution”.
