Yuliot said that the One Price Fuel Policy would eliminate price disparities between regions and would create injustice so as to minimize conflicts that endanger the integrity of the nation and state.

"If there is a difference in treatment between one region and another, it will create a sense of injustice. This sense of injustice will cause a conflict that may also occur something that endangers the integrity of the nation and injustice. This will be utilized by certain parties. Of course, with the one-price fuel policy, this is to minimize the occurrence of social inequality between regions," explained Yuliot.

According to the direction of the Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Head of BPH Migas Erika Retnowati said BPH Migas will continue to oversee the One Price Fuel program because it is an important program that has a big impact on people in remote areas of the country.
