Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 15:10

A protest took place in Espinho against fuel prices and the cost of living. The action brought together participants who wanted to express their protest against the economic situation affecting Portuguese families.

A protest spokesperson addressed the prime minister directly, demanding that he "listen to the Portuguese." The representative stated that the government should already have taken measures to address citizens' concerns.

The spokesperson also noted that "the government has had enough time to act," suggesting that authorities have not demonstrated the necessary urgency in resolving problems related to fuel prices and the rising cost of living.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by the rising cost of living, particularly in fuel prices. The protest reflects growing public discontent with government inaction. This demonstration comes after a prolonged period of economic pressure on Portuguese families.
