"Wow, I wouldn't be in the place of those who have been whining and crowing for months about price caps, such as 480 gasoline! They repeated such "smart things" as: the state cannot intervene in market processes, communism is unsustainable, "who do you think will make up the difference between 480 and the market price???", the government helps motorists with our taxes, blah blah blah... - writes television host Balázs Németh on social media.
Why wouldn't I be in the croakers' place? Because over the weekend, Western European governments (Do you understand?? Westerners! They are great kings!!) announced that they would touch the prices. According to the reasoning, if they don't act, the economy will collapse due to the runaway gas prices and utilities!
The French government has already decided to give motorists 15 euro cents per liter for every refueling. In addition, they strongly recommend to the oil industry companies that they also reduce the prices from their profits so far.
The German finance minister is planning a solution similar to the French one, 20 cents per liter would be deducted from gasoline prices with state aid, and further tax reductions are also possible.
In Austria, the government held a crisis consultation on Sunday. For the time being, they have remained committed to lowering gasoline prices with some form of government measure, and are still looking for the most effective method.
The Italians are already proposing that there should be an energy price cap throughout the European Union
Poor domestic croaks! This is going to be hard to process! It turned out that in an extraordinary situation, others also make extraordinary decisions. Who first, who later."
