Chega announced that it intends to propose the reduction of VAT on fuels. André Ventura's party wants to reduce taxes on fuels to address the price increases that have affected consumers.
The PS leader, Carlos César, responded to Chega's pretensions with direct criticism. César accused the party of contradiction, highlighting that the socialists had previously advocated for lowering VAT on fuels.
According to Carlos César, the PS previously presented proposals to reduce VAT, but Chega voted against those initiatives. The socialist leader used this argument to question the coherence of the position now assumed by Chega.
The exchange of accusations between the two parties arises in a context of growing concern with the cost of fuels in Portugal, an issue that has marked the national political debate.
