Fuel Prices: Haniff Peerun Discusses an 'Unjustified' Increase

The president of the Mauritius Labour Congress (MLC), Haniff Peerun, criticizes the recent increase in fuel prices, which he deems "excessive" and "unjustified," penalizing the population. He believes that this increase exceeds the actual impact of tensions in the Middle East on the global market and serves mainly to replenish the state's coffers. According to him, this decision is likely to further strain the purchasing power of Mauritians and lead to a new increase in the prices of consumer goods. Haniff Peerun thus calls on the authorities to implement concrete measures to better protect consumers against the rising cost of living.
