Meloni: We decided to cut the tax on diesel in response to rising fuel prices
Rome, July 27 (Hibya) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that international tensions had once again driven up fuel prices and announced that the Council of Ministers had approved a decree reducing the tax on diesel.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that the increase in fuel prices caused by international tensions was putting pressure on transportation, agriculture and consumer prices, and announced that the government had taken a new step aimed at lowering diesel prices.
Meloni said that the Council of Ministers had approved a decree providing for an immediate reduction in the tax on diesel.
Stating that the measure would not completely solve the problem, Meloni said that a swift and responsible step had been taken in light of current economic resources and international developments.
