Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil will tomorrow meet the social partners within the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development, MCESD, to discuss the high prices of petrol and diesel, the Nationalist Party said today.
The Opposition said it has for the past weeks insited that the government should reduce fuel prices. Today, the PN said, the price of oil is $44 per barrel.
The PN noted that a number of council members, including the GRTU, UHM, MHRA and the Chamber of Commerce have already spoken publicly about the issue and have asked the government to discuss fuel prices with the MCESD.
"The Opposition will keep insisting that that the government should immediately reduce the price of petrol and diesel and stop playing with numbers in its attempts to try and give the impression that Maltese families and businesses are not paying among the highest rates in the EU."
