Government rules out further fuel support for now

Observador7 September 2026 at 21:49

The Portuguese government has ruled out, for now, the possibility of implementing further fuel support measures, considering that the price increases in Portugal are in line with the rest of Europe. The exception pointed out is Spain, which presents a different situation.

The Energy Minister was responsible for传达这一立场, arguing that there is no justification at this time to extend fuel support measures beyond those already in place.

The government indicated that it will continue to support the sectors most exposed to energy price increases, which are limited, for now, to the agricultural sector.

This position comes in a context of widespread fuel price increases throughout Europe, with Portugal following the European trend, unlike its Spanish neighbor.
