The new Egyptian president, former general al-Sisi calls for a car-free Friday. Why, you ask? Because countries like Egypt reverse excise duty handling, and the motorist is the government so costs money instead of earns.

In the Netherlands the motorist is a willing cash cow, something countries such as Egypt breaks the hell out if you autorijder going to charge. Here is the gasoline below cost on the market, and the difference explains the government (although this kind of policy in countries such as Venezuela, now under the magnifying glass is). With rising oil prices, this means a cost which still ondraaglijker, but the elimination can not, unless you’re of a rebellious population. Not really something that Egypt now is to wait.

An alternative is for your people then ask them pretty please to the car a little more often want to leave. Today, al-Sisi, dressed in sportswear and wielerhandschoenen, in one of his first speeches with this call. We think, however, that we do know how to this call is listened to.

Egypt gave this year, 170 billion pounds (17 billion euros) on subsidies. That is a fifth of the total budget. Next year should this be reduced to ‘only’ 104 billion pounds. The general, who is now at the helm occurs anyway as a milieuliefhebber for: during his campaign he shared all cfls out to the needy.

We have a better idea: if the government get there first even though that godse irritating thresholds on the main roads of Cairo, removes, saves a sip on a drink. Every few 100 metres are those things on the asphalt, causing a trip through the capital city, the sporadic moments that the traffic is not established, a irrtante exercise of constantly accelerating and braking.
