The words of Matteo Salvini, leader of the League and Minister of Infrastructure of the current Meloni government, are no words left. He had promised the involvement of the competent authorities to see more clearly on the matter expensive petroland so it was: the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office opened a file on the cost of fuels, the Guarantor for price surveillance was involved, and the Antitrust Authority is also working to find out if it is actually a question of speculation or less, especially in service areas on motorways.
Repubblica on newsstands this morning underlines how at this point expensive fuel will enter the next Council of Ministers scheduled in a few days, while during the week the inspections will reveal how many petrol stations sell fuel at stellar prices, thereby allowing government experts to cascade the potential impacts on inflation.

The increases simply reflect the government’s decision to cancel the 25p plus VAT rebate.”. All eyes are now on oil companiesguilty of deciding the final price without fairness.
