Italian Government Cancels Road Tax Ahead of Elections
The Italian government has canceled next year's road tax, presenting it as compensation for high fuel prices, though critics view it as an election ploy. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni insists the move aims for permanent abolition, benefiting 14.5 million vehicle owners at a cost of over 2.3 billion euros. This decision comes as her coalition faces declining poll numbers and pressure from the radical-right Futuro Nazionale party ahead of elections scheduled by December.
