Senatul a votat starea de criză la carburanți, dar ieftinirea va fi invizibilă pentru șoferi: „O lege pentru băieții deștepți”

The Romanian Senate extended the state of crisis in the fuel market until October 2026, but the expected price reductions will be minimal and largely symbolic. Analysts criticize the decision to eliminate VAT cuts, arguing that the measures favor large market players rather than consumers. The new law introduces a flexible mechanism for reducing diesel excise taxes, but the anticipated price drop at the pump is estimated to be only between 11 and 30 bani per liter. Experts suggest that a more effective approach would have included VAT reductions and a reevaluation of pricing mechanisms to better protect consumer interests.
