The Spanish government has secured approval to extend its third energy crisis aid package through the end of the year. The Permanent Delegation of Congress validated the decree on Friday, maintaining tax relief measures for gasoline and diesel fuel.
- The government initially approved the decree on September 30 during a Council of Ministers meeting.
- Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo reported that 82% of gas stations implemented the full tax reduction within 24 hours of the decree’s approval.
- Cuerpo stated that these reductions provide direct savings, covering nearly 60% of gasoline cost increases and 40% of diesel cost increases for consumers.
- The minister presented these figures to deputies on Friday to justify the continuation of the fiscal measures.
The policy remains in effect as part of the administration’s broader strategy to mitigate energy costs. #Spain #Energy #Economy #Government
