“The AfH opposes permanent state intervention in the pricing of essential goods. While protecting consumers during shortages is important, giving a government watchdog the power to fine businesses for ‘unjustified’ price increases undermines free-market principles and creates excessive regulatory discretion. Competition and clear laws should remain the foundation of consumer protection.”
