Context

After the meeting of the leader of the trade union of carriers Salvatore Bella with the Minister of Transport of Italy Matteo Salvini, the strike of trucks in some cities, in particular in Sicily, decided to stop. At the same time, in Campania, as well as in Basilicata, Calabria, Molise and in some cities of Puglia, the protest of carriers against high fuel prices will last for another week.

What's next

Road carriers are calling for the introduction of a Spanish model with automatic price adjustments and restrictions on diesel fuel. Consumers, however, reject this offer for fear of further price increases. This issue will be discussed at a new meeting scheduled for October 27.

It is noted that from October 21, payments of tax credits intended for road carriers will begin. These funds were finally released after months of waiting.
