Motorists are conducting a slow march on the access roads to Galp's refinery in Sines, in the district of Setúbal, as a protest against the increase in fuel prices. The demonstration took place during the morning, with participants traveling the access routes to the industrial facility at a slow pace.
The protests originated from various points in the region, including Grândola, Santiago do Cacém, and Vila Nova de Santo André. The motorists converged on the roads leading to the refinery as a way to draw attention to the rising cost of fuels.
The protest occurs within a context of continuous increase in fuel prices in Portugal, which has directly affected drivers and transport companies. The slow march is a form of demonstration that aims to create visual impact and traffic disruption without resorting to violent acts.
