Drivers from across the country protested this morning against the new increases in fuel prices. The discontent led to coordinated demonstrations in several regions, with motorists demanding answers for the continuing rise in fuel costs.

In Alentejo, a slow march is taking place heading to Sines, with the participation of dozens of vehicles. The protests will last 24 hours, in an action that demonstrates the determination of drivers to maintain pressure on authorities.

On the 25th of April Bridge, the morning was marked by an organized honking, with drivers using their car horns as a form of protest. The mobilization on this strategic route aimed to draw attention to the situation affecting thousands of Portuguese families.

In statements to the media, the organizers stated that they are willing to take all necessary measures: "Whatever needs to be done, we will do it", stating that they intend to maintain the mobilization until there is a concrete response to the fuel price problem.
