Molise councilors propose fuel cost relief for farmers

In the Molise region of Italy, regional councilors from the Democratic Party have proposed a motion to address the rising cost of fuel, which is impacting families, commuters, and local production sectors.

A specific amendment has been drafted to support agricultural businesses struggling with severe drought. The proposal seeks a significant reduction in agricultural fuel costs to assist farmers forced to perform extra plowing due to dry conditions. Implementing this measure requires authorization from the European Union to allow Rome to reallocate agricultural resources toward this emergency. While the motion was not discussed during the September 22 session due to time constraints, it is scheduled to be reintroduced in the next regional council meeting.
