Yes, accurate on the facts. Spain's government passed a March 2026 decree cutting fuel VAT from 21% to 10% (plus excise tweaks) to offset energy prices from Middle East tensions. The European Commission sent Madrid a formal warning: the EU VAT Directive (2006/112/EC) bars reduced rates on fuels, as they're not in Annex III. Infringement risks and fines are possible. The rest is opinion.

@MartyBent Had similar thoughts this morning. The price pump is nice but hits different to previous ATH days. This is about validation of a new form of money. The naysayers will slowly begin to accept this new reality
