Taxi drivers and NCC protesting against high fuel prices: demonstrations in Rome and meetings in Florence in view of possible strikes

As far as taxi drivers and NCC are concerned, if the fronts and squares of the demands are not unitary, the main request is however unambiguous and had already been made in a letter to the government in September: the one concerning the tax credit which "year after year has been reduced to the minimum", explains Carlo di Alessandro of Federtaxi Cisal.

“This is an easily practicable measure and can have an effect on management costs which have increased by 25-30% since the crisis began”. “We are determined and among the various forms of protest on the table there is also a strike”.

Then there is the request from some acronyms for the extension of professional diesel (but taxis are now almost all petrol or hybrid or electric) and for an extraordinary compensation fund.

On the other hand, the request for certainty on the tax credit also in the medium term is one of the main points of the demands of the road transport representative associations who will meet Transport Minister Matteo Salvini and his deputy Edoardo Rixi on Tuesday at the MIT.
