Fuel Dealers Accuse Government of Excessive Profits

Diário de Leiria11 September 2026 at 19:00

Fuel dealers are accusing the Government of obtaining excessive profits from the sale of fuels. This accusation arises in the context of concerns about the pricing policy practiced by the executive.

João Durão emerges as a critical voice in this situation, demanding concrete measures from the government to change this scenario. His demands focus on two main axes.

First, João Durão advocates for increased oversight of the fuel sector. This oversight aims to guarantee greater transparency and avoid practices that may harm consumers or favor unfair competition.

Second, the official calls for a reduction in taxes applied to fuels. This measure aims to prevent fuel smuggling and increase the sector's competitiveness, thus protecting both legitimate dealers and consumers.
