It should be noted that after the announcement of the rise in price of fuel, Djamil Gasanli, the leader of the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF), has stated that the opposition will hold a series of protest actions against the rise in price of fuel. The NCDF plans to hold a protest action on December 15.

According to the information as of December 5, more than 20,000 persons signed an online petition to President Ilham Aliev to halt the rise in fuel prices.
