The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, accused the Government of "making money" from the increase in fuel prices. This accusation comes in the context of a visit to Valença, a municipality bordering Spain.
Carneiro traveled to Valença with the objective of comparing fuel prices in Portugal with those practiced on the other side of the Spanish border. The visit aims to demonstrate the price differences between the two countries.
The accusation that the Executive is financially benefiting from the fuel price increases reflects the PS's concern with the impact of these increases on Portuguese wallets, especially in regions along the border with Spain, where consumers can easily compare and opt for lower prices in the neighboring country.
