Summary:

  • Toll exemption on the A25 highway sparks discontent.

  • Albergaria-a-Velha to Aveiro stretch excluded from exemption.

  • Socialist Party claims decision was not an oversight.

  • Public reaction is overwhelmingly negative regarding toll charges.

Disappointment Among Local Leaders and Users

The recent toll exemption on the A25 highway has sparked discontent among local authorities and users, particularly because the stretch between Albergaria-a-Velha and Aveiro was excluded from the exemption. This decision has taken many by surprise, especially those who frequently use this route.

Political Responsibility

The Socialist Party, which proposed the toll exemption, insists this was not an oversight. They affirm that the decision was made with careful consideration, though the backlash from the community suggests otherwise.
