This is the Government that has always supported people with energy prices. This is the Government that has strengthened the eco-contribution. In recent years, we have also addressed the anomalies left by the Nationalist Government in how bills were calculated. Similarly, we have continued to pay residents the Feed-in-Tariffs that expired under agreements handed during Nationalist Governments. This Government has consistently worked in favour of consumers and has left hundreds of millions of euros in people\u2019s pockets.
