The Minister of Energy assured that setting fuel prices should only be considered as a "last resort", arguing that intervention in prices should only happen after letting the market function and, eventually, acting at the tax level.
The person in charge of the Energy sector took this position in response to concerns about the rising cost of fuel and its impact on families and the economy.
The minister emphasized that her approach involves allowing market forces to act first, before any more direct government intervention in price setting.
This statement comes in a context of debate about the cost of living and the measures the government could take to reduce the burden of fuel on consumers' budgets.
