La inflación de los combustibles sube un 46% y mete presión al Gobierno para reactivar ayudas

España's fuel prices have surged by 46%, putting pressure on the government to revive assistance measures. The IPC accelerated to 4.3% in August, driven by a spike in energy prices, with diesel increasing by 30.3% and gasoline rising by 16.9%. Despite temporary discounts on fuel taxes, the recent inflationary trend indicates that more assistance may be needed.

The impact of the Middle East conflict on energy prices has exacerbated the situation, with inflation rates surpassing the European average. The government has acknowledged the need to support families affected by rising prices, potentially signaling more assistance measures.
