The PS secretariat, Carlos César, declared that newspapers confirm an increase in State revenue from fuels. This statement arises in the context of a political discussion about fuel taxation in Portugal.
Carlos César accused the executive of "giving with one hand and taking with both," criticizing the government's fiscal policy. This expression suggests that, although the government may have implemented some measures to support consumers, the increases in fuel taxation would have nullified much of those benefits.
The PS accusation aims to highlight an apparent contradiction in the government's actions, suggesting that the revenue increases from fuels exceed the benefits granted to citizens. This criticism is part of the broader debate about the cost of living and the fiscal pressure on Portuguese families.
