Former Minister of Agriculture, Besian Mustafa, commenting on the statements of the Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati on excise and VAT on oil, said that instead of offering solutions to support citizens with these unaffordable prices, he has entered into conspiracy theories, blaming everyone except his passivity and witch-hunting.

Mustafa wrote that citizens do not need the paranoid sleeps of the minister but need solutions.

"Leave the paranoia, act," he wrote.

The Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers, Hekuran Murati has said that the calls for reduction of the oil excise tax are calls for thickening the profit of traders.

According to him, the reduction of VAT or excise in situations when the country is facing inflation, is not necessarily reflected in the reduction of the price to the consumer.

In Murat's reaction on social networks, it is said that the increase in the price of oil comes as a result of the increase in the price of supply from imports, which is out of their control, but also due to the increase in profit margins by oil traders, especially now when the arrival of the diaspora is expected.

"Therefore, we are working on a decision that sets a ceiling price and maximum profit margin, because in such exceptional situations, it is necessary for the Government to intervene in the market to stabilize prices, which is provided by applicable law.

While the opposition calls for the Government to reduce VAT or excise on oil or other products, do not serve the interest of citizens.

On the contrary, such an action would only thicken the profits of traders on the one hand, and would limit the state's ability to support families in need on the other.

The reduction of VAT or excise in inflation situations, is not necessarily reflected in the reduction of the price to the consumer ", writes Murati.
