PCP wants honking protest against fuel price increases

Funchal Notícias14 September 2026 at 16:51

PCP promotes on September 17th, at 6:00 PM, a "honking protest" against the increase in fuel prices. The event will take place on Avenida do Mar, near the Regional Assembly.

The communist party states that the increase in fuel prices is increasingly weighing on the pockets of the populations of Madeira and Porto Santo. PCP considers that this situation requires an urgent response.

The initiative aims to protest against the high cost of fuel in the autonomous region, where prices tend to be higher than in mainland Portugal due to factors such as maritime transport.

Why this matters

Readers from the Madeira and Porto Santo region are directly affected by the increase in fuel prices, which impacts daily cost of living. The protest organized by PCP represents a form of political mobilization of citizens against fuel pricing policies, following a trend of social protest.
