Baku, January 26, AZERTAC

Italian Petrol station groups Fegica and Figisc Confcommercio on Wednesday called off the second day of a two-day strike in protest about being accused of price gouging after prices rose when the government failed to renew a duties cut, according to ANSA.

A third group, FAIB, had already decided Tuesday to cut the strike from Wednesday and Thursday to just Wednesday.

Fegica and Figisc Confcommercio said they were revoking the second day of the stoppage "in favour of motorists and certainly not the government".

The nationwide petrol-station strike to protest at measures imposed on the sector to improve price transparency was taking place on Wednesday after getting underway at 19:00 on Tuesday.

The petrol-station-operator associations, however, had split in relation to the length of the protest, with the Fegica and Figisc/Anisa groups confirming a 48-hour strike, while the FAIB group cut its protest to 24 hours.
