Turkish Cypriot Union demand that increases in fuel and electricity prices be scrapped

The Turkish Cypriot Public Servants Union (Kamu-Sen) has called for the reversal of hikes in electricity and fuel prices.

Kamu-Sen Chairman Metin Atan in a statement on Thursday said that the increases in fuel and electricity prices are due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira and certain sectors which are at the point of collapse, borrowing in foreign currencies and then calling for the hikes to be withdrawn.

We demand that these hikes be withdrawn immediately, said Atan.

New fuel prices per litre:
-95-octane petrol up from 4.19TL to 4.30TL
-98-octane petrol from 4.37TL to 4.48TL.
-Euro Diesel from 4.02TL to 4.13TL
-Paraffin from 3.78TL to 3.91TL.
