Hybrids are crowned the favorites amid the rise in gasoline prices Comments The Government withdrew the bill that sought to limit fuel price increases to $20 per liter for the next 90 days, an initiative that was submitted this Wednesday to the Chamber of Deputies amid the truckers' strike. Consequently, the initiative is not on the agenda for this Thursday's session of the Chamber of Deputies, where it was initially planned to be presented. The project had been submitted for immediate discussion, with the intention of accelerating its processing and having it voted on next Monday, November 16. It should be noted that the project covers both gasoline and diesel and seeks to moderate the increases paid by consumers, due to the international increases in oil. Its presentation occurred amid the paralysis initiated on Tuesday by various truckers' organizations, including the Confederation of Truck Drivers Fuerza del Norte and the Confederation of Truck Drivers Centro-Sur.
