Romanian independent taxi drivers will not buy fuels from gas stations on Thursday, in protest over the increase in fuel prices, the Association for the Rights of Independent Taxi Drivers (ATDI) said in a press release Sunday.

The association said it repeatedly called on the Government and the Parliament to look into ways to stop the fuel price hike.   ADTI threatened that, if the Government, the consumers protection authority and the Competition Council turn a blind eye to their demands, taxi drivers will cease activity countrywide starting March.
