The Prime Minister of Portugal, António Montenegro, revealed that the fuel tax rebate has already accumulated around 700 million euros, with projections for the year 2026. This information was shared during a public statement made on Friday.

Montenegro noted that the administration is making significant efforts to address the issue of fuel prices and assured that the situation is being closely monitored. The Prime Minister also remarked that the measures adopted aim to provide some relief against price volatility.

Additionally, Montenegro admitted that new measures could be implemented if fuel prices remain at the current levels observed over the past four weeks.

The discussion around strategies to manage fuel prices arises in the context of concerns about the impact of market fluctuations and the country's economic health.

Montenegro's statement emphasizes the importance of continuing to monitor the situation and the need for additional actions if prices do not show a significant decline.
