Fuel prices increase
Another blow for consumers. In two days, they have seen the price of household gas and gasoline rise. On Monday 18 April, household gas went up to Rs 240 per 12 kg cylinder, an increase of Rs 60. The next day, gasoline was increased to Rs 67.40 per liter, an increase of 10%. Diesel also went up to Rs 49.60 per liter. This is the third time that the price of fuel has risen in three months. It seems that these new increases have been the last straw for consumers. Indeed, demonstrations took place in Camp Levieux on Wednesday. A so-called illegal demonstration that saw citizens take to the streets to express their anger. Others in Pointe aux Sables followed as well as in Plaine Magnien, Plaine Verte and other areas across the island.
