Luís Montenegro accuses opposition of "saying nonsense" and responds to criticism with work

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro defended the PSD/CDS-PP/PPM Government, accusing the opposition of "talking nonsense" and forming "negative coalitions" in Parliament to defeat government proposals. During a video conference at the PSD Summer University, Montenegro responded to criticism from PS, Chega, and other parties, emphasizing that the Executive will continue to work without retaliating. PS criticized a "preventive and excuse-making discourse" in the face of unfulfilled economic promises, while Chega classified the speech as "praise of banality" and pointed to problems in Education and the Ministry of Internal Administration. On the left, Livre, BE, and PCP each presented their own criticisms, accusing the government of neglecting people's livelihoods, such as poverty risk, insufficient medical resources, and soaring housing prices. Montenegro called on the opposition to present alternatives and revived the slogan "Let Luís work" to summarize his response.
