The Central African Platform of Young Leaders of the Democratic Opposition (PJLOD) opposes any further increase in petrol and diesel prices and is calling for tariffs to be frozen. Its national coordinator, Arsène Elien, set out this position in a statement published on 30 September 2026, according to Corbeau News Centrafrique.
PJLOD believes that an increase would make transport and basic necessities more expensive, while the incomes of many households already fail to cover their daily expenses, reports the Central African media outlet.
