Gas stations in Cosenza are reporting fuel shortages as supply chains face disruptions from refinery protests and impending labor strikes. Motorists in the region are encountering empty pumps, a situation local authorities attribute to a blockade at the Taranto refinery and growing public concern over a planned nationwide trucking strike scheduled for tomorrow.
Industry analysts note that the supply bottleneck stems from the inability to transport refined products from the Taranto facility, which serves as a primary hub for the region. While officials have not confirmed the duration of the supply disruption, the combination of logistical delays and panic buying has exacerbated the scarcity at local service stations. Residents are advised to monitor local reports for updates on fuel availability as negotiations regarding the transport strike continue.
