Italy prolongs diesel tax relief amid fuel cost surge
The Italian government has extended the diesel tax reduction until next Wednesday, in response to rising fuel prices caused by increased oil prices due to the war in the Middle East. Diesel prices are approaching $2.57 per liter, while benzene is around $2.44 per liter. The government is facing political pressures from the opposition, which is calling for immediate support and the implementation of taxes on excess profits of energy companies. This extension comes as Meloni prepares for anticipated general elections next year, amid ongoing concerns about the impact of rising fuel prices on consumers and the economy.
