A group of drivers organized a horn blaring protest in Lisbon on Monday to protest against the new fuel price increase. The demonstration took place on the streets of the Portuguese capital, with participants using their vehicle horns as a form of expression.

The drivers expressed their discontent with the rising fuel prices, which have been affecting the cost of living in Portugal. The protest aims to raise awareness about the financial impact these increases have on families and economic activity.

The action of Lisbon drivers is part of a broader context of dissatisfaction with the escalating energy and fuel prices, which has been a constant concern for Portuguese people in recent times.
