The socialist leader announced a proposal to reduce VAT on fuels and essential goods. The measure aims to alleviate the impact of price increases in these products for consumers.
The PS leader accused the government of making profits through the increase in fuel prices. This accusation suggests that the executive has financially benefited from the rise in energy prices.
This will be the third time the party presents this tax reduction proposal in the Assembly of the Republic, the Portuguese parliament. The repetition of the initiative indicates that the PS maintains pressure on the government to change fiscal policy regarding fuels and essential goods.
