Chega/Açores demanded that the Regional Government comply with a recommendation from the Legislative Assembly and reduce the Tax on Petroleum and Energy Products (ISP). The party considers that reducing this tax would help ease the budget of families and businesses in the region.
The demand arises in a context where fuel costs have significantly affected Azorean consumers, especially in an island region where petroleum products have an even greater weight in the local economy.
The party recalls that the Legislative Assembly has already approved a recommendation to this effect, so the Regional Executive should follow up on this democratic orientation. Chega understands that lowering the ISP would be a concrete measure to mitigate the impact of the cost of living in the Azores.
This position is part of the party's strategy of defending low-tax measures as a way to support the regional economy and the purchasing power of Azoreans.
