Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) is continuing his fight against high fuel prices and is proposing regulation of gas station margins. At Friday's meeting, he agreed with Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) that the government will address the issue of margin regulation or other measures on Monday. Babiš proposes capping margins at three crowns per liter, which he calls a normal markup level. However, a state inspection did not prove that fuel retailers were charging significantly high markups, even though the price of diesel is rising toward fifty crowns per liter. ihned.cz - byznys ↗
Babiš also called on the Office for the Protection of Competition to investigate a possible cartel among gas stations. He criticized the distributors Orlen, MOL and OMV for exploiting the conflict in the Middle East and called on them to immediately lower prices. irozhlas.cz ↗
However, the situation is drawing criticism from the opposition. Former Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) mocked the prices at the gas station in Průhonice on the D1 highway, which is owned by Babiš's companies. Fiala points to Babiš's hypocrisy, as he himself calls on fuel retailers to lower prices while his own gas station offers expensive fuel. Critics call the situation "Babiš's high cost of living" and point to the contradiction between his public appeals and the actual practice at his own gas station. European MEPs who support Babiš also failed to support new EU anti-corruption rules, raising further questions about their positions. forum24.cz ↗
Monday's government meeting will focus on concrete measures against high fuel prices, with the capping of margins being one of the options being prepared. denik.cz ↗
