Slow march in Sines and honking on the 25 de Abril bridge. Motorists against fuel price increase

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 12:57

Motorists in Portugal are protesting against the new fuel price increase expected this Monday. The protests include a slow march in the city of Sines and honking on the 25 de Abril bridge in Lisbon.

Drivers warn about the consequences that this increase will have on their personal lives. Many point to the direct impact on family budgets and the ability to cover transportation costs.

Beyond personal hardships, drivers also warn about professional consequences. The rise in fuel prices particularly affects those who depend on their vehicles for work, whether through the transport of goods or services.
