Mission accomplished? Government guarantees Portugal will receive all millions from PRR

TVI Notícias28 August 2026 at 21:04

The Portuguese Government states that the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) is completed and that the country will fully meet the targets required by the European Commission. With this, Portugal should receive the entirety of the almost 22 billion euros planned in the recovery plan.

The execution of the PRR was one of the executive's main priorities, which faced several challenges in implementing the necessary reforms and investments within the deadlines set by Brussels.

However, the article indicates that some works and projects were left behind during the plan's execution, having not been completed within the scheduled timeline.

These uncompleted works will now have to find new sources of financing, as they can no longer be supported by the PRR.

"André Ventura is a political animal and is showing it due to the absence of many others"

Bruno Batista, commentator at CNN Portugal, considered that André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, is demonstrating his capabilities as a "political animal" precisely because many other political leaders are not present to compete in the media space. According to Batista, Ventura realized that someone needed to "put an end" to the series of episodes involving the Luís Neves case, taking advantage of the absence of adversaries to stand out in public debate.
