Carneiro insists that the Government is profiting from the fuel price increases

Jornal C – O Caminhense7 September 2026 at 21:27

The Secretary-General of PS, José Luís Carneiro, insisted today that the Government is profiting from the fuel price increases. During a visit to the first Galiza fuel station, Carneiro stated that the Executive earned more than 1,048 million euros from the increase in fuel taxes since taking office in April 2024 until the end of 2025.

The socialist leader refused to comment on the PS's position regarding the motion of censure presented by the Chega party. This was the only reference to the motion of censure that appeared in the article.

Carneiro went to the Galiza station to "see with" the citizens the fuel situation, although the article appears cut off at this point, making it impossible to understand the rest of his visit or statements.

Government says it did not receive alerts to stop digital marking of exams

The Ministry of Education guarantees that it did not receive technical alerts recommending stopping the digital marking of national exams in 2026, despite problems identified in the first implementation phase, such as file integrity failures, incorrect sheet associations and parameterization errors affecting more than 21,000 grades. The Government acknowledges that the constraints generated anxiety among students and families, but emphasizes that the second phase proceeded without significant problems, with the number of error reports dropping from 90,479 to 5,110. Following questions raised by the PS (Socialist Party), which threatened to proceed with a parliamentary inquiry committee, the Executive requested an independent and comprehensive evaluation of the external assessment model from the National Education Council, whose final report should be delivered by December 31, 2026.
