The Secretary-General of PS, Pedro Nuno Santos, today accused Chega of "seeking to deceive the Portuguese" during the debate on VAT reduction on fuels. The accusation comes in the context of a political discussion on fuel taxation in Portugal.
The socialist leader stated that Chega contributed to the rejection of proposals presented by PS regarding the fuel sector. This situation was used as an argument by Pedro Nuno Santos to criticize the position of the populist right-wing party.
The issue of VAT on fuels has been a recurring theme in Portuguese political debate, with different parties presenting various proposals on how to reduce fuel costs for consumers. PS argues that its proposals would have been blocked by the combined action of other parties.
