The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, insisted that the Government is benefiting from the increase in fuel prices. This position comes at a time of political debate about the impact of fuels on the Portuguese economy.
José Luís Carneiro highlighted the difference between the prices practiced in Spain and Portugal, suggesting that Portuguese consumers are paying more than their Spanish neighbors.
The socialist leader reiterated this position as a form of criticism of the government's management of fiscal policy regarding fuels, pointing out that the Executive obtains more revenue from the price increases.
This intervention takes place in the context of the political debate about the cost of living and taxation on fuels in Portugal.
