The Minister of Economy acknowledged that fuel support is never sufficient to completely mitigate the increase in the cost of living, stating that "you can't have everything now." The official nevertheless defended the importance of continuing to support the agricultural sector in the context of these measures.
The State is not profiting from fuels, the minister insisted, rejecting the idea that price increases have resulted in fiscal benefits for the government. This position comes in response to criticism about the insufficiency of support measures for families and businesses.
The official highlighted that it is necessary to find a balance between available support and budget constraints, acknowledging the difficulties that consumers and productive sectors face due to rising energy costs.
