PS accuses Chega of helping the Government and argues that VAT reduction cannot wait until January

The parliamentary leader of PS accused Chega today of helping the Government by presenting bills to reduce fuel VAT and apply zero VAT to essential food products that only take effect in January. PS argued that this VAT reduction cannot wait until January, thus criticizing the timing of the proposals presented by Chega. This accusation arises in the context of a political dispute between parties over measures to support the cost of living. PS considers that Chega's action benefits the Executive by proposing measures that will not have immediate impact.
