Die Regierung wird in den kommenden Tagen eine „angemessene Reaktion“ auf steigende Kraftstoffpreise geben

Ah yes, let’s give them just enough time to squeeze in a few more price hikes, so they can be sure they still come out on top when they finally offer any so-called relief to consumers.

More taxes

An “appropriate response” needed to be made a fortnight ago. At best it’s a “response”.

my car took €63 last week for a fill. Diesel.

Filled it this morning. It is now €80.

And the government couldn’t give a bollox……

For the love of fuck.

Response is gonna be increasing the scam carbon tax.

Just to clarify the reason I call it a scam. Carbon tax was introduced as a ring fenced tax for climate action funding. What was found though was that the government is siphoning away about 40% of it for climate action unrelated expenses, thus directly breaking their own statements about what it will be used for.

Still no action. To give is future tense. Appropriate response could be anything. 

Get in with it. Or will it be like disposable capes, it takes so long that any action would be much to late.
