What they're saying: Government spokesperson Olivier Véran reiterated during an appearance on France Inter radio on Tuesday that while no total ban would occur, restrictions on private jets would signal that the same rules apply to all.

• "It has symbolic value, and symbols are important," he said.
• "The French should not have the feeling that it is always the same people who are asked to make an effort, that is to say, the working and middle classes," Véran said.

Julien Bayou, leader of the French Green Party, called for a total ban on private jets last week.

• "It’s the measure that would penalize the smallest number of people for the biggest and most immediate impact in favor of the climate,” he told a French newspaper, the Financial Times reported.
