"There are farmers who are taking their tractors to Spain to fill up with regular diesel. We cannot live in a country like this"

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 21:49

There are Portuguese farmers who are traveling to Spain with their tractors to fill up with regular diesel, looking for lower prices than those practiced in Portugal.

Pedro Frazão is the voice that appears in the article, explaining that agricultural diesel is more expensive in Portugal than regular diesel in Spain, which justifies the cross-border trips of farmers.

The responsible person defends that the State should intervene to support farmers on this fuel cost issue, stating that "the State has to be on people's side."

The situation led Frazão to express his discouragement with the current situation, stating that "we cannot live in a country like this," evidencing the frustration of the Portuguese agricultural sector regarding the fuel price differences between the two countries.

Why this matters

Portuguese farmers face agricultural fuel costs higher than regular diesel in Spain, which directly affects their competitiveness and profitability. This situation results from fuel taxation policies in Portugal and directly affects those who depend on agricultural activity to survive.

Puig buys 50% of Isdin from the Esteve family for 1.2 billion euros

Puig will buy the remaining 50% of the Isdin laboratory from the Esteve family for 1.2 billion euros, in an operation that ends 50 years of partnership between the two Catalan families. The transaction, expected to be concluded in the first quarter of 2027, will allow Puig to double its dermocosmetics business and reduce its dependence on fragrances, which represent more than 70% of the group's revenue. Of the total, 900 million will be paid in cash at the closing of the operation and 300 million in the first quarter of 2029. This acquisition comes after the failure of merger negotiations between Puig and Estée Lauder and before the presentation of the new strategic plan of the listed Catalan company, scheduled for October.

Euronext open to merger with Deutsche Börse to create a European "single market"

Euronext is open to a merger with Deutsche Börse to create a European "single market" for equities, according to CEO Stéphane Boujnah in an interview with the Financial Times. Boujnah did not rule out a full merger, but acknowledged it would face significant regulatory hurdles, showing a preference for uniting exchange businesses to serve Europe's three largest economies. Although the idea is not new — previous attempts failed in 2006 and 2012 — and Deutsche Börse has stated there are no ongoing negotiations, the most realistic scenario pointed to is a partial partnership or joint venture between the exchanges.
