Bread Union urges fuel price transparency
The Bakery Workers' Union in Lebanon expressed serious concern over the rising fuel prices, noting that the increases are accelerating rapidly alongside the global oil price per barrel, while the rate of decrease is slow, raising questions about the transparency of the government’s pricing mechanism. The union questioned how the rise in the oil price to around $90 per barrel might affect diesel prices, and whether institutions and individuals can bear the burden of rising costs if the barrel price climbs back to $120. They called on official authorities, especially the Ministries of Energy and Economy, to clarify the pricing mechanism transparently and to address questions regarding the alignment of local prices with global prices. They emphasized the need to review the mechanism to ensure fairness and transparency, in order to safeguard food and social security, while rejecting any exploitation or greed that harms citizens and the economy.
