Protest near Montenegro's house against fuel price increases

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 01:30

Around 80 people protested outside Montenegro's residence, the current prime minister, against the increase in fuel prices. The action took place as a form of direct political pressure on the government leader.

The protest participants demanded a reduction in the VAT rate on fuels from 23% to 6%. This demand comes in a context of strong increase in fuel prices in recent months, affecting citizens' purchasing power.

The demonstration represented a moment of political tension, with protesters directing their demands directly at the head of the executive. The protest outside Montenegro's personal residence underscores the growing frustration of the population with the government's energy and fiscal policy.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal face high fuel prices and this demonstration comes following the continuous worsening of these costs. The protest directed at the prime minister underscores public pressure on the government to intervene through fiscal measures, such as VAT reduction, to ease the burden on consumers.
