« Deeply disappointed » after the meeting with the government. And so the gas station attendants confirm the strike of 25 and 26 January .
The announcement came during a press conference organized by Faib Confesercenti, Fegica and Figisc/Anisa. «I am deeply disappointed, we expected more to be able to meet the needs of the minister, but the conditions have not changed . There has been an effort to reduce the sanctions but the obligation of the cartel remains and the message that passes is that we are a category to be kept under control because we speculate. Not even on water or bread is there any obligation to communicate the price», the words of Bruno Bearsi, president of Figisc/Anisa.
The reference is to the obligation to display the sign with the average regional prices of fuels next to those specific to the service station , provided for by the Transparency decree. A provision that carries with it maxi fines for those who do not respect it and which, according to the petrol stations, would increase the costs of the managers and create confusion among motorists.
«The strike is therefore confirmed – specified by Bearsi – but until the last minute we are available to find a solution. Now we can't revoke it."
The petrol stations have proposed to replace the obligation of the new cartel with a QR code mechanism that the motorist can download so as to know the average price lists in real time, through a special App. But at the moment the positions with the ministry are still a long way off.
It is not yet known how long the strike will last. According to leaks, the pumps should be closed from 7pm on 24 January to 7pm on 26 January . And from the 60 hours of initial proclamation it would therefore pass to 48.
