Last night all over Bulgaria there were queues and columns of cars at gas stations, waiting to fill up with gasoline before the prices go up. There were speculations all over social media of huge price rises expected in the coming days due to the war in Ukraine and alleged prices of 3.50 BGN per liter of gasoline shocked some Bulgarians who resorted to panic buying.
Today, the prime minister will call on the Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) “to check who and how is speculating on prices”.
