Montenegro admits new measures to stop fuel price rises

Notícias de Coimbra4 September 2026 at 19:25

Montenegro's prime minister indicated today that the fuel tax discount already amounts to "around 700 million euros". This statement comes in the context of a discussion about the continuous rise in fuel prices in the country.

Given this situation, the government is considering implementing new measures to stop the rise in fuel prices. The executive is considering various options to contain prices and support consumers in the face of the constant increase in costs.

The accumulated value of the tax discount represents a significant effort on the part of the government to mitigate the impact on citizens. However, the continuation of these measures is now in question given the need to find a balance between supporting the population and fiscal sustainability.

The announcement of new measures comes at a time when fuel continues to have a considerable weight on the budgets of Montenegrin families. The government faces the challenge of addressing citizens' concerns without compromising public finances.

Public tender for institutional advertising in Famalicão brought to ERC for excluding one of the municipality's radio stations

The company Editave Multimédia, owner of Fama Rádio, Famatv and the digital newspaper Opinião Pública, filed a formal complaint with ERC against the Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, accusing the council of designing a 210 thousand euro public tender for the acquisition of advertising broadcasting services with criteria that favor one local radio operator to the detriment of another. The company claims that the requirement of a printed newspaper as an eliminatory criterion in the audiovisual lot creates a "de facto monopoly," excluding Fama Rádio and Famatv, which have had no printed edition for about six months. Editave speaks of a "two-step market blockade": first, the council allegedly created a printed municipal bulletin that harmed the commercial viability of independent newspapers, and then uses this absence as a legal pretext to exclude those media from the tender. The company asked ERC for urgent intervention and requested that the tender jury change the rules, invoking violation of principles of the Public Procurement Code, including technological neutrality.

Carneiro again accuses Government of "making money" from fuel price increases

The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, again accused the Government of "making money" from fuel price increases, revealing that he submitted to Parliament a proposal to reduce VAT on fuels and essential foods — for the third time already, rejected by AD, IL and Chega. Carneiro stated that the Executive profits nine cents per liter of diesel and six cents per liter of gasoline, having accumulated 1,048 million euros in fuel taxes between 2024 and 2025, and an additional 1,070 million in VAT revenue due to inflation. The PCP, through Paulo Raimundo, considered the fuel discount increase announced by the Government insufficient, accusing it of not targeting the profits of large companies like Galp and EDP.
