Posted: 14 Jan 2025, 15:35
Equivalent to Mary Antoinete's sarcasm of "If they don't have bread, let them eat cakes". Feyisa, a PP beneficiary said, "“I don’t think there will be anyone who buys a car and worries about the price of fuel. If not, he can sell his car, buy a horse, and ride on the corridor development that Abiy built for him.”
His comment, seemingly sarcastic and dismissive, sparked massive backlash. Many Ethiopians criticized him for ignoring the broader impact of fuel price hikes beyond car owners. His remarks suggested that those affected should simply adapt rather than question the economic policies in place.
