On 25 and 26 January the petrol pumps will stop, but according to the National Consumer Union the protest is not motivated
January 18, 2023
With a joint note The liver of Figisc/Anisarepresenting the category of petrol stations, they confirmed the strike scheduled for days 25 and 26 January coming even after meeting the government. It reads: “Pending the Government’s assessments, the strike scheduled for 25 and 26 January is confirmed. To bring out the seriousness and competence required, there is time until the minute before the plants close”. A small door therefore remains open awaiting a message from Palazzo Chigi.
At the same time, however, it is also interesting to hear the opposite opinion of theNational Consumer Unionaccording to which the strike is not justified. “The petrol station attendants are free to go on strike as many as they want, but they cry for nothing” says Massimiliano Dona, president of the UNC. “They complain, for example, about the exorbitant fines. Too bad they have dropped, even if only slightly, from 516 to 500 euros. The suspension of the activity does not even come automatically after the third violation, given that it is written that it can be ordered Furthermore, apart from the blanket checks carried out in 2022, precisely because of the speculation that took place in March, we do not know that in the past years the checks on petrol stations have ever been a priority of the country. In short, to get to the fourth violation it could pass , well that goes, half a century.The truth is that ithe transparency decreenot only should it be strengthened with respect to sanctions, but it must contain measures to prevent speculationsuch as those that occurred in March for fuel after the invasion of Ukraine or those that occurred during the pandemic for masks and disinfectant gels, against which neither the prosecutors nor the Authorities have been able to do anything” continues Dona for which “doubts remain , on the other hand, also on our part, due to the exposure of the average price which can incentivize the virtuous to raise the price” .
