German media praise Tusk for capping fuel prices

German media, including Berliner Zeitung and Deutsche Welle, write that the Polish government is not afraid to intervene in the fuel market. Warsaw introduced maximum fuel prices and heavy penalties for violations, while Berlin, in their words, limited itself to a polite appeal to oil companies.

In Poland the prime minister is criticised for interfering in the free market, but, according to German commentators, he does not pay attention to it. Another praise concerns the growth of public investment: in their view it is not limited to defence and helps GDP growth above 3% and reduces unemployment, although it also raises debt.

By comparison, journalists say Chancellor Friedrich Merz is too accommodating.
