In Romania, the fuel crisis is worsening, with prices exceeding 8.5 lei for gasoline and 9 lei for diesel. The president and the prime minister met with OMV CEO Alfred Stern, who suggested that drivers should drive less and walk more. This recommendation has sparked mixed reactions, with some citizens considering it unrealistic, while others see it as a call for responsibility.


In the context of the war in the East, which has blocked 20% of the world's oil, there are fears of shortages. The Romanian government has not implemented measures to control prices, and Stern rejected the idea of capping them. In the European Union, solutions are being sought, but a return to Russian oil is excluded. Analysts warn that the price of fuel could rise significantly if the situation worsens.
