Dear fuel, the government extends the cut in excise duties to 21 August

The government he decided to extend the cut in excise duties until 21 August. With the government crisis underway, there were doubts whether it would be possible to extend this measure again, designed to try to contain the price of a full tank of fuel. In the last few hours, the news had filtered out that they wanted to proceed with the extension anyway, despite the difficulties of the Draghi government.

So, through an inter-ministerial decree of the Treasury and the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the extension to 21 August has arrived. As we know, the latest intervention had moved the deadline for the cut in excise duties to August 2. Previously there was also talk of a wider intervention, with an extension that could reach a couple of months. Evidently it was decided not to proceed in this direction.
