José Luís Carneiro, Secretary-General of PS (Socialist Party), criticized the government for extending support for agricultural diesel until the end of the year. He stated that "the government gives with one hand and takes with two," showing the socialists' dissatisfaction with the government's policy.
This agricultural diesel support measure will cost approximately 15 million euros. However, according to José Luís Carneiro, the benefits of this measure are insignificant compared to other policies that likely burden the agricultural sector more than they help it.
PS, as an opposition party, expresses through its leader its disagreement with the government's economic policy, especially regarding the agricultural sector. Carneiro's criticism highlights the difference between the announced support measures and the real benefits for farmers.
