The fuel scandal: PSD and PNL accuse each other in press releases

In the context of the fuel crisis, PSD and PNL communicate through press releases, each accusing the other. PNL calls on social democrats for discussions, emphasizing that their public positions do not serve the interest of citizens and demanding responsibility in addressing current issues. The Liberals believe that measures such as reducing the excise tax and capping prices require serious debate, with technical foundations and sources of funding.

On the other hand, PSD calls on the Government to reduce excise taxes, arguing that the intervention came too late and that the announced measures are insufficient. Additionally, the National Trade Union Bloc (BNS) is boycotting the meeting with the Government, accusing the lack of transparency in convening the National Tripartite Council for Social Dialogue. The Government has postponed the adoption of the measures, and a new CES meeting is scheduled to discuss the project.
