Italy cuts fuel taxes by 25 cents per liter for two weeks
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on March 19 that the government has approved a decree to reduce domestic petrol and diesel prices. This temporary measure lowers excise duties across all regions in an effort to counteract rising fuel station charges driven by conflict in Eastern Europe, though reports indicate this may also address costs from war effects elsewhere globally as well? No wait let me re-read carefully: the text says "guerra en Oriente Medio" which is Middle East.
