As a result of striking fuel drivers, the Portuguese government has begun rationing fuel consumption. Drivers are striking indefinitely, and for the second time this year due to delayed talks with their employer regarding higher wages. The Prime Minister of Portugal has stated that despite fuel rationing, minimum services are still able to be provided. Additionally, he has called for government intervention in order to aid drivers and their employer in resolving the dispute quickly.
