Portugal’s prime minister said today that this week’s rise in fuel prices is not enough to “cause a stir from the point of view of the government’s action” but that it will do so when necessary. “Today’s rises are significant; fuel is much more expensive today than yesterday, but there have also been many weeks in which it has fallen.
