“They are right! The bill for gas that equates to the price of the bottle of beer is too low. I’d like the money to go for improvement of the public services, but I doubt it will. The government should also do a better job explaining to people why they did it.”

“It’s not right or wrong, it’s simply logical. We want to have the European standards in our country so we are going to pay European prices. It’s inevitable.”
