“Gasoline over 2€”: The blame game
A viral tweet places diesel and gasoline above two euros per liter, reigniting the blame game. This message points to a war in Iran that would drive up crude oil prices, with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu under scrutiny. From there, everyone takes their shot.
Why are fuel prices rising in Spain?
Some argue that part of the increase is due to a geopolitical scenario: the conflict in Iran makes crude oil more expensive and draws it into European pumps. Another user points to a fiscal factor: higher prices per liter miccionan greater returns for public coffers. The tweet also criticizes the Government for failing to cap prices.
The political battle unfolding at the pump
The origin of the anger traces back to a viral tweet that distributes responsibility among Trump, Netanyahu, and Spanish leaders from PP and Vox, whom the message portrays as servants of the American magnate's interests. Against this thesis, another comment maintains that France, Germany, and Italy will compete for Mediterranean crude oil, a factor that would drive up prices regardless of who governs.
