Taxi protest at the Mef on Monday against high fuel prices, they threaten to stop

"Those who know itTaxi know that we have never succumbed to ideological protests, but today we are faced with an economic emergency that is no longer sustainable". The president of itTaxi, Loreno Bittarelli, wrote this this morning in an editorial in the Economista, in view of the sector's protest planned for Monday 26 October in front of the Mef, in Rome.

"With the tariffs administered by the Municipalities, we cannot pass on the record increases in petrol and diesel prices to customers: the costs are paid entirely by the workers, whose margins are eliminated.

We will be in the square on foot, out of turn and without cars, to make our voice heard without causing inconvenience to citizens."

The category will ask the Government for the extension of "Professional Diesel", an extraordinary compensation fund and real incentives for the green transition. "Without urgent responses - concludes Bittarelli - the concrete risk is the blocking of the service due to the material impossibility of covering management costs".
