Cât costă un litru de benzină în Siria? Cetățenii protestează față de scumpiri și cer demiterea ministrului Energiei

Protests in Syria against rising fuel prices continue for a second day, with citizens blocking roads and demanding the resignation of Energy Minister Mohammed al-Bashir. The protests erupted after a new price list increased fuel costs by 25% to 40%. Over 50 members of the Syrian Parliament have called for al-Bashir to be questioned about the price hikes and their impact on living conditions. The price of standard gasoline rose from 152 to 195 Syrian pounds, while diesel increased from 125 to 175 pounds. Protests have spread across several provinces, with demonstrators blocking key routes and disrupting traffic. Al-Bashir stated that the price increase was necessary to cover the gap between import costs and domestic prices, as Syria relies heavily on fuel imports due to limited domestic production.
