Fuel crisis hits southern Italy as Puglia and Basilicata face shortages

adevarul.ro (Romanian) —

A fuel supply crisis is affecting the Italian regions of Puglia and Basilicata, causing long queues at gas stations and protests by transporters and farmers over high diesel costs. The shortage stems from protests by former Ilva steel plant workers blocking access to the Eni refinery in Taranto, leaving over 50 of its 300 stations without fuel. Transporters warn of economic disruption, while farmers demand support measures. Protests have spread to Calabria and Campania, but workers suspended the strike on Friday evening after new talks were announced for October 27, allowing fuel deliveries to gradually resume.
