“This is inflation that is about to last”: Marcelo asks the government for control and measures

The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, spoke on Wednesday afternoon and said that it is very difficult to deny the reality of the war in Ukraine, as it affects inflation and the lives of people in Portugal.

The President also stated that he believes that the perceived inflation will continue “as long as the war continues”.

Marcelo acknowledged that the government recognizes that additional measures are needed to combat these effects, and that it is very important to carefully monitor these changes.

On the other hand, the President of the Republic believes that Portugal is not the only country in this situation, and that all other European countries are also already making changes, as they do not see the end of the war imminent.
