Fuel crisis: taxi drivers, school principals and public assemblies mobilise
Published
The fuel crisis continues to fuel debate in Italy and, in several sectors, protest is growing. On 26 October 2026, trade associations are making their voices heard concretely with a demonstration in the capital.
Today, a protest organised by It Taxi, Uritaxi and Unicoop will take place in front of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT) in Rome. Drivers from Unitrav, who work with the non-scheduled passenger transport service (NCC), will also take part in the initiative. The protesters are calling for the institutions to pay attention to the difficulties their work is facing.
The mobilisation does not concern the transport sector alone. Some school principals are also involved in the discussion of the current situation, which has consequences for schools and families. In addition, public assemblies are being organised in several cities, where citizens, workers and representatives of the categories can express their concerns.
At this moment, the situation remains evolving. No further official details on the government's decisions are currently available, but new information from the institutions and the organisations involved is likely to emerge in the coming days.
