Comments by "M d\x27 Ph" (@Tititateo63) on "EU Commission initiated proceedings against Hungary due to double Hungarian fuel prices!!! #Orban" video.
You are wrong, EU, in this issue. Why? Because, everyone in Hungary equally can buy fuel at NORMAL MARKET PRICE in Hungary, no matter if someone is a local inhabitant in Hungary or a tourist visiting Hungary, according to EU rules of free market within the EU = no discrimination of anybody. The price cap on fuel in Hungary is a kind of discounted price provided by the Hungarian government connected to special condition. The party who provides the discounted price has the right to set up the rules for ex what the conditions are to have the right buying something at discounted price. In other words, discounted price is not a right for everyone just for a group of people. For ex as a consumer I can have a membership card at a petrol company and that membership card gives me for ex the right to buy fuels and other products for discounted price at the gasoline stations that company run. Do all consumers get a membership card at a petrol company? Not at all! One important issue to have such a membership card is beeing a registered inhabitant with personal number in that country. Is this a matter of disrimination? Not at all, the petrol company still sellss all the fuels and other products at market price for any consumer but a group of consumers can apply and can get membership card included even price discount. That is the way even how price cap on fuel as a kind of price discount in Hungary should be seen, EU!

There is absolutely no discrimination from the side of Hungarian authorities regarding the price cap of fuel at petrol stations in the country that results different prices. Everyone living in Hungary and having a registered car in the country has equally posibility to buy fuel with price cap for maximum 50 liter of fuel at a time. Above that every people owning car registered in Hungary must pay the market price. It is just understandable, as the price cap is financed by taxes payed in Hungary, the price cap is ment for people living and paying taxes in the country. People outside Hungary with cars not registered in Hunghary can still buy fuel in Hungary for market price. By the way, governments in every EU member state still have the possibility to introduce the price cap for fuel in their country. The price cap in this case works as a kind of "membership" in some community. For ex. you can be a member of "privilaged consumers" at a retailer in a country and get offers for special prices no other can get if they are not members. The idea of price cap for fuel in Hungary is something similar and the EU bureaucrat has absolutely nothing to do with that.
