The Secretary-General of PS, José Luís Carneiro, today accused the Government of profiting from the increase in fuel prices. During his statements, Carneiro criticized the way the executive has been reacting to the rise in prices in the energy sector.
Carneiro revealed that he submitted on Thursday, in Parliament, a proposal to reduce VAT on fuels and food. This initiative comes as part of PS's strategy to combat the cost of living that has affected Portuguese families.
The socialist leader has been pressuring the Government to take measures that ease the burden of taxes on essential goods, arguing that citizens should not be penalized by the current economic situation.
