It appears that Spain, not so long ago referred to as one of Europe’s PIGS, is the only country in Europe with some sense. It is subsidising the price of petrol at the pumps for drivers, has lapped a windfall tax on the major companies, in particular the fuel and energy sector while also making rail travel free from September 1 until at least the end of the year until the end of the year to help ease the cost of living.
We’re being robbed
People can’t afford to fill up their vehicles yet fuel companies are posting record profits - it’s daylight robbery!

I didn't here any words to the contrary when these companies were hit during COVID, fuel was below €1 a litre and the companies were making billion pound losses.
No shit. What a surprise. Not
Spot on, though it's not just the oil companies. Most big businesses (including the hotel chains) have been abusing their workers for years. Paying them the minimum possible whilst there is no shortage of cash for CEOs, directors and shareholders. It's time that the people who generate the wealth get a bigger share of it.
