" Let's put a cap on profits, not on workers' lives ." This is what USB and Abaco Sardegna called for this morning, starting at 10 a.m. in Piazza Sant'Avendrace in Cagliari to put an end to the high cost of living, fuel prices, and low wages. About thirty people showed up in front of the Eni service station with banners and flags. "Fuel is not a luxury. It's a tax on labor," they argued in a statement, "for truck drivers, farmers, artisans, taxi drivers, commuters. For those in Sardinia who have to deal with insularity and pay more for fuel than on the mainland. When gasoline prices go up, the cost of bread, groceries, everything goes up . Those who work and live on the island pay twice: the crisis and the isolation. The government offered temporary discounts, now not even those. We demand structural measures. Now."

USB and Abaco Sardegna are calling for "a real price cap on essential goods and fuel," they explain, "a cap on profits in the energy sector; an immediate recovery of the purchasing power of wages and pensions; a structural reduction in fuel costs for truck drivers, farmers, and artisans; an extraordinary plan for transportation in Sardinia; investments in public transportation, healthcare, and welfare." Furthermore, "sharp cuts in military spending and concrete recognition of the cost of insularity for Sardinian citizens and businesses."
