Roads and seaports around Sicily have been blockaded for 5 days by hauliers in protest of recently increased fuel prices. This has been a 40% increase, pushing the price to €3 a litre.
Considering that the economy there has been brought to a standstill, It's a mystery that this has not been picked up on by the BBC.
Simples - it is a 'quiet backwater' of Europe...news are not bothered as it is neither sensational, capital city or shocking. Just a bunch of people standing up for themselves. Weird that it is not reported *at all* on BBC.
Have to say, my paranoia has kicked in nicely.
I have family there and the phone line has been very patchy for the last fortnight.
Unrelated, I'm sure... 😕
