The Socialist Party (PS) accused the government of "misleading" regarding the revenues obtained through fuel taxes. This criticism was expressed by Socialist leader José Luís Carneiro, who stated that the executive is profiting from these taxes at the expense of citizens' sacrifices.

Carneiro emphasized that tax increases have a significant impact on the finances of Portuguese citizens, complicating their economic situation. In multiple statements, the PS has called for greater transparency in the management of fuel revenues and the use of these funds.

This accusation from the PS comes in a context where political pressure on the government has been rising, particularly concerning the current fiscal policies. The party expects the executive to respond to these allegations and clarify its position on the matter.
