The government rules out any scenario of fixing fuel prices in Portugal, according to the information conveyed by the news. However, the Minister of Environment assumes a new strategy for the energy sector, suggesting an openness to alternative intervention measures.
The government admits setting prices only as a last resort, that is, in an extreme situation where other measures prove insufficient to protect consumers. This position represents a shift in tone by the executive.
The news does not specify which measures the government intends to implement before considering price fixing, nor does it present dates or concrete details about the new energy strategy.
