PS accuses Chega of helping the Government with measures on VAT on fuels and food

Expresso13 September 2026 at 12:48

The Socialist Party accused Chega of helping the Government with the measures on VAT on fuels and food. This accusation was made by Eurico Brilhante Dias, the parliamentary leader of PS, who considered that Portuguese people need immediate support and cannot wait until January.

According to the article, the current Minister of Education was described as "probably" the worst since April 25th, in a critique directed at the current governance. This statement is part of a set of attacks that PS has directed at the executive and its allies.

The issue of VAT on fuels and food has been a topic of debate in the Portuguese political sphere, with PS showing concern about the impact of these measures on citizens' lives. The party believes that the implemented policies do not adequately respond to the needs of the population.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by VAT policies on fuels and food, and this political controversy may influence the timing and form in which these support measures will be implemented. The negative classification of the Minister of Education by PS signals potential instability in the executive and may have implications for educational policies that affect students, teachers, and families.

Elections in Sweden could bring far-right to government

Sweden holds extremely close general elections on Sunday, with the historic possibility of the far-right entering government for the first time. Polls indicate that Magdalena Andersson's center-left alliance is leading, but incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who governs in coalition with the far-right Swedish Democrats, could still win. Experts warn that the far-right entering the executive could compromise Sweden's reputation as a defender of human rights, citing significant changes in crime and immigration policies in recent years. The Swedish Democrats Party, founded in 1980, achieved its best result in 2022 with 20.5% of the vote.
