Galamba attacks PS for wanting to increase tax on renewables

Observador12 September 2026 at 22:24

Former minister Galamba harshly criticized the Socialist Party for its proposals in the energy sector. The main issues raised concern the tax increase on solar and wind energies, which according to Galamba would penalize renewable sources. The attack was also directed at the PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, and at the party's positions on this dossier. Among the criticisms also mentioned are the subsidization of fossil fuels and the PS's silence regarding electrification, themes that Galamba considers fundamental for the country's energy transition. The former minister's position comes in the context of debate about the energy and fiscal policies of the main opposition party in Portugal.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for readers in Portugal because it reveals an internal conflict within the PS about energy policy, with direct implications for consumers and investors in renewable energies. The proposed tax increase may affect electricity prices and the viability of clean energy projects, themes that influence domestic and business economics.

CDS-PP of Lagos advocates for public service that goes beyond the minimum required

The Lagos CDS-PP local branch advocates that public service should go beyond minimum task compliance, through a voluntary attitude of support for citizens, without exceeding rules or the limits of each role. In a statement titled "Serving is doing more", signed by Miguel Silva, the party proposes recovering the so-called "principle of also", meaning the willingness to provide additional help to those seeking State services. The leader argues that each contact with a public service can influence citizens' trust in the State, giving examples such as explaining the next steps to avoid unnecessary trips or directing citizens to the appropriate entity. Miguel Silva also extends the appeal to businesses, associations and families, concluding that "also doing what we can to help others is service".
