Fishermen also protest, 10 million from the government

Italian fishermen are protesting against rising fuel costs, leading to many fishing boats being docked. The government has allocated 10 million euros to support the sector, covering 10% of fuel expenses from June to mid-October. This initiative has been welcomed by various organizations and unions, highlighting the financial strain on the fishing industry due to high fuel prices, which can account for over 60% of operational costs. The increase in diesel prices has resulted in significant additional expenses for fishing vessels, with some facing up to 45,000 euros more annually. This funding aims to provide essential liquidity to sustain fishing operations.
