José Luís Carneiro criticized the Government's agricultural diesel support policy. The politician accused the executive of taking more from the Portuguese than what it gives them, in a speech that targeted the country's economic management.
Carneiro's main criticism focused on the agricultural diesel support policy, a subsidy that the Government provides to farmers to help reduce production costs in the primary sector.
In his speech, José Luís Carneiro pointed to additional revenues of 400 million euros, suggesting that the State was collecting more money than what it returns to taxpayers through these subsidies.
The issue arises in the context of a broader debate on tax justice and the distribution of public support in Portugal, with Carneiro positioning himself as a critic of the executive's economic policy.
