Drivers in slow march next to Galp refinery against fuel price increase

Drivers are carrying out this Monday a slow march on the access roads to Galp's refinery in Sines, in the Setúbal district. The protest aims to demonstrate discontent against the increase in fuel prices. The action is partially blocking the access roads to the refinery, causing slow traffic in the local area. The protest participants are drivers who organized themselves to express their disagreement with the growing cost of fuel. This type of protest action is common in Portugal as a way of putting pressure on the entities responsible for setting fuel prices. Galp's refinery in Sines is one of the country's main oil refining facilities, which makes the location of the protest symbolically significant in drawing the attention of authorities and public opinion.
