Fuels more expensive because of the cinema?

Predictably, the government's decision to increase excise taxes on fuel to get the money to be devoted to the culture without increasing the price of movie tickets is stirring controversy in the automotive world, which is now having to absorb ' impact of inflation certainly not expected and not really acceptable, especially in light of continuing increases in prices of petrol and diesel have been subjected in recent months because of political tensions that have to involve an increase in oil prices on international markets.

A protest was ANFIA today that the voice of its president, Eugene Razelli, criticized the government's decision: "The measure, which will serve in particular to ensure the tax credit for film by abolishing the tax of one announced € on admission, he clashed with the rising fuel prices that we saw last month, with the price of oil continues to rise due to political instability in the southern Mediterranean, which is compounded by the recent crisis in Libya .

should lift consumer confidence in this direction should be the recovery measures undertaken by other European countries like Britain, for example, it lost a penny in excise duty on fuel. " The position dell'ANFIA is highly critical and does not fail to stress that at this time would be better to try to lower prices tending to reduction of excise duties and, conversely, increase them, so going to further burden on the pockets of motorists although the Government it is justified in saying that the increase will be quite content.

Despite the understandable need to avoid penalizing the sector of culture and cinema in particular, which suffers from years of deep crisis, the increase in excise duty on fuels, which already accounts for about 54% of the price of gasoline at the pump lends itself naturally to strong controversy and causing considerable concern, since the government chose to penalize the use of an asset like a car, which has become necessary for many Italians, instead of weighing on the price of movie ticket that, as important , can hardly be called an indispensable asset.
