"Tomorrow I meet the category and I will tell them that

there is no desire to pass the barrel

, the vast majority of petrol stations are behaving with great responsibility, for their protection it is necessary to identify those who are not doing so".

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni

, on Tg1, responds to the

managers who have announced a trade strike for 25 and 26 January "to put an end to this wave of mud

against a category of honest workers and try to restore the truth'. "We work for give priority to growth, we need general wealth to be distributed, otherwise poverty will be distributed:

we had two paths, cut excise duties and help everyone, or help those in need

- he added - "The thing that scares me the most, paradoxically, is not being able to tell the Italians that this government is proceeding with determination, with its head held high, aware that this nation can recover, that we can do it, but we can we must do it together".

Lastly, the prime minister claimed the executive's work in the economic field: "Everything we are doing - she told Tg5 -

serves to control inflation

Meloni mentioned the interventions on the "expensive trolley" highlighting "we are talking to the whole supply chain".

"The government will carefully monitor the situation of price levels not only for petrol but also for consumer goods, in order to verify that their trend is consistent with that of supply and therefore determined by external shocks or whether it is instead determined by speculative and lack of transparency of the operators. In the light of this monitoring, the government will evaluate further initiatives to be taken".

Economy Minister

Giancarlo Giorgetti

said this when answering question time to the Senate.

On the price of fuels, "I remind you that the measures adopted by the previous government (since March 2022), which led to the reduction of excise duties on fuels - added Giorgetti - were adopted when their price had exceeded 2 euros per liter ( reaching 2.184 euros for petrol) and ended in November. These price conditions are very different from the current ones and, precisely because of this, the Government has deemed it appropriate to intervene with regulatory measures aimed at improving the transparency of prices and to avoid speculation".

To put an end to this wave of mud

against a category of honest workers and try to re-establish the truth, the managers' associations, together, have taken the decision to proclaim the state of agitation of the Category, throughout the network; to start a counter-information campaign on the plants and proclaim, for the days of 25 and 26 January 2023, a first strike action, with a garrison under Montecitorio".

This can be read in a note from Faib-Confesercenti, Fegica, Figisc-Confcommercio.

The petrol station workers' strike "is their legitimate right".

Thus the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security,

Gilberto Pichetto

, commented on the announcement of the petrol station strike on 25 and 26 January.

Tomorrow, at 11.30, the government, in a delegation with me and the ministers proposing the decree law concerning the sector, will meet the trade unions in the sector,

to listen to their reasons and compare them with the measures that the government intends to adopt and has adopted". This was stated by the undersecretary to the presidency of the council,

Alfredo Mantovano.

"We are extremely sorry" that "the distributors have announced a two-day strike on the 25th and 26th because, they say, the state blames the petrol stations for the increase in petrol" but "the measures that the government has put in place are

against speculative phenomena therefore to protect the distributors

So, interviewed by telephone, the undersecretary of the presidency with responsibility for the implementation of the programme,

Giovanbattista Fazzolari

"Petrol is not at 2 and a half euros, in normal distributors it is around 1.8 euros, the measures are all aimed at putting a stop to those who engage in speculative phenomena. We have imagined them to protect" the distributors.

Expensive petrol, Meloni: 'With the cut in excise duties there would have been no other aid'

The strike is scheduled from 19.00 on 24 January 2023 to 07.00 on 27 January 2023.

they took the decision to proclaim the state of agitation of the Category, all over the network;

to launch a counter-information campaign on the plants and proclaim, for the days of 25 and 26 January 2023, a first strike action, with a garrison under Montecitorio.

The impression that the category has drawn from this affair is that of an Executive looking for resources to cover its political responsibilities, without even having the courage to put its face on the choices made and knowing full well that the Customs Agency, the Mimit and the Revenue Agency already have the knowledge and availability of data on movement, fuel prices and the reliability of the daily communications provided by the category.
