15 minutes: Social Security reform postponed to next legislature

SIC Notícias28 August 2026 at 15:08

The Social Security reform was postponed to the next legislature. This decision comes in a context of political uncertainty.

Luis Montenegro, leader of the main opposition party, called for a national agreement on this matter. The prime minister acknowledges that the necessary political conditions are not in place to proceed with structural changes.

The postponement means that any significant change to Social Security will depend on the next legislative cycle, after the next elections.
