Pretty sure you are missing something. We are talking about Costa Rica, not France. There have been protests in Costa Rica about a new tax. Truckers have been clogging up the roads.
Costa Rica has high taxes specifically on cars. It’s a car import tax and every new car has to be imported. Someone there told me 20%, but a quick search looks like it’s 45-85%. Whatever it is, the result is most people are driving around in old cars that have higher emissions than newer cars. A lot of the stuff on the road is over 20 years old.
