The Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria /CEIB/ supports the national protest of carriers, which started today. The discontent spread to a number of cities in the country, with the aim of the industry being to show that it is united.
According to the CEIB, the demands of the demonstrators are completely fair and legitimate.
The employers’ organization is also of the opinion that the excise tax on fuels should be reduced. Furthermore, the biocomponent should be eliminated from the price altogether. The expansion of the toll system for trucks should be postponed.
The CEIB is adamant that all this is important not only for the protesting transport industry, but also for the normal life of Bulgarian people as a whole.
Today’s demonstration itself was the beginning of protests announced by employers, demanding that the government take measures to compensate for the extremely high prices of natural gas and electricity. The impoverishment of the nation must also be stopped.
