The leader of Iniciativa Liberal considered today that the Portuguese middle class is "under attack" and has become "invisible" to those in power. The party's president, Rita Soulet, made this accusation during a public speech, arguing that this social group has been neglected by the policies implemented in recent years.
According to the liberal leader, both PS and PSD are responsible for this abandonment of the Portuguese middle class. Rita Soulet argued that these two major parties stopped paying attention to this segment of the population because the middle class "ceased to carry weight at the ballot box" as before.
This position arises in the context of a broader debate about income distribution and the impact of inflation and taxation on middle-class family households in Portugal. Iniciativa Liberal has sought to position itself as a defender of this segment of the population, frequently forgotten in both left and right-wing policies.
