Environment Minister defends that lowering fuel prices is a 'last resort' measure

TV RECORD EUROPA9 September 2026 at 15:34

The Environment Minister defended that reducing fuel prices should be a last resort measure. The minister believes this should be a solution adopted only when no other viable alternatives exist.

The minister's position involves allowing the market to function more freely, without direct interventions in prices. This approach implies trusting in the natural regulation of the energy sector.

As an alternative to fuel price reductions, the minister advocates the use of fiscal measures. These tools would allow for a more indirect approach to the economy, without directly intervening in the fuel market.
