Left Bloc Proposes "Price Cap Brake" and Wants to Double "Mortágua Tax"

Expresso31 August 2026 at 00:36

The Left Bloc announced a proposal called "Price Cap Brake" and expressed the intention to double the so-called "Mortágua Tax". This initiative comes in the context of party criticism regarding the management of the National Health Service and the crisis that affected national exams.

José Manuel Pureza, the party representative, considered that "the only stable thing about this Government is this policy of chaos," expressing the Left Bloc's position on government action in these areas.

The "Price Cap Brake" proposal and the increase in the "Mortágua Tax" represent the main measures presented by the Left Bloc in this intervention, seeking to address the difficulties identified in the health and education sectors.
