  "account": "The Spanish government has activated a safeguard clause to increase the discount on diesel fuel in the Hydrocarbon Tax to 20 cents per liter, effective immediately. This move comes as tensions in the Middle East escalate, causing international energy market prices to rise. In contrast, the discount on gasoline will be reduced from 10 to 5 cents per liter this month. The price of fuel has surged since the start of summer, with diesel up almost 24% and gasoline up nearly 20%, contributing to an inflation rate of 4.3% in August, the highest in three and a half years.",
  "summary": "The safeguard clause is activated, which raises the diesel bonus in the Hydrocarbons Tax, while for petrol, on the contrary, the discount is reduced from 10 to 5 cents.",
