The petrol stations confirm the strike, the negotiation with Urso failed: “We want to meet Meloni”

After the inconclusive meeting with Minister Adolfo Urso the unions of the petrol stations confirm the strike called for 25 and 26 Januarybut to meet the request of the Guarantee Commission reduce the duration from 60 to 48 hours. The petrol stations will therefore remain closed from 7 in the morning on the 25th to 19 on the 26th. “The ministry has backtracked on the promises made to the associations in the previous tables. We want to meet Meloni”, explained Giuseppe Sperduto, president of Faib Confesercenti.

The negotiation with the government to untie the knots linked to the price transparency decree seems to have foundered but in the parliamentary process of conversion into law there could still be room for some corrective measures. Primarily on sanctions, with a reduction of the maximum ceiling of fines from six thousand to 800 euros. However, the crux of the cartel remains with the regional average price to be displayed at petrol pumps. The proposal of the petrol stations is to use a qr code which refers to the Observatory’s website, where the data is already available today. Everything will depend on any amendments but pending formal confirmation, the managers intend to continue with the protest.

“The answers that have arrived do not satisfy us: we cannot revoke this strike because the conditions and the message that is being passed and that we are responsible for the speculation have not changed,” he said Bruno Bearzi president of Figisc/Anisa.

“It is not in our interest to close the plants, but if the government has legitimately decided to raise excise duties, it cannot pass the buck on us”, say the unions, who this morning on the sidelines of the table meeting at the ministry of companies and made in Italy held a press conference.
