Montenegro criticizes international situation causing rise in oil prices
The Prime Minister condemned the international situation leading to rising oil prices, calling for it to end.

The Prime Minister of Portugal, Montenegro, condemned the current international circumstances, stating that they have contributed to the 'senselessness' of rising oil prices. During an event to celebrate the centenary of São João da Madeira, he emphasized the consequences of this situation for economies and individuals, highlighting the need to put an end to this trend.
Montenegro made a direct appeal for this issue to be resolved in the coming weeks, asserting that instability around oil prices is severely penalizing economies. His condemnation reflects a concern about how the escalation in prices affects not only the market but also the daily lives of citizens.
The Prime Minister stressed the obligation not to let the country fall into inertia in the face of economic difficulties. He emphasized that society must not 'let itself go under' and that it is imperative to face adversities with determination.

In his statements, Montenegro reiterated the need for an effective and swift response to halt the negative effects of rising fuel prices. He expressed hope that actions could be taken to reverse what he considers a senseless situation.
Montenegro's comments come at a time when rising oil prices are generating widespread concerns across various economies. The situation is exacerbated by international factors that are beyond the direct control of the government.
This appeal from the Prime Minister aims to mobilize support and find solutions to mitigate the impact of rising prices on citizens and the Portuguese economy, reflecting a global challenge affecting many countries. According to sources, Montenegro's message resonates with the need for a collaborative approach to this issue.
