Finally, Faber also gave his thoughts on the steady climb in fuel prices. Last night's change came as a shock, since now, regular gas is almost at $11 dollars per gallon.
This goes against the PM's statements in the past in which he criticised the Barrow Administration for the high fuel tax - specifically in 2017 when he said that the government should reduce its tax take by $2, at the very least. Now, the tables have turned, and Faber says Briceno should take his own advice.

"He should take his own advice. I think we have gone on record we've even made a few commercials on social media to that effect there. There are clips that he said this every step on the way every turn he made, made it known that the government can... he should know, after all he is involved in the gasoline business, so he should know what the government makes and what the retailers make and so. I would agree with his advice and at a time when our people are suffering this is exactly what needs to be done."
