Prime Minister Luís Montenegro reiterated this Monday that "Portuguese pensions are sacred," ruling out any changes to the pension system during the current legislative term. The Government leader reacted this way to opposition criticism, which has been questioning the system's sustainability and the executive's measures on this matter.
Montenegro harshly criticized the opposition, accusing it of promoting "demagogy, misinformation and falsehood" in its interventions on the pension issue. The prime minister defended that the executive has been working responsibly in managing the Portuguese social security system.
The article comes at a time when the debate over pension sustainability in Portugal has gained greater political prominence, with opposition parties pressuring the Government about the future of pensions and the system's sustainability.
