Instituto Progresso is a new think tank that emerged this week, having been founded by socialist deputy Miguel Costa Matos. The project was publicly presented and aims to be a platform for reflection and political debate.
In addition to the socialist founder, Instituto Progresso already has signatures from PSD members, namely Mónica Quintela and Rui Silva Leal, which demonstrates a reach beyond a single political party.
Miguel Costa Matos guarantees that the project "goes beyond the PS", emphasizing its suprapartisan nature. However, the greatest agitation caused by Instituto Progresso is precisely within the Socialist Party.
The creation of this think tank comes at a time of political tension and may become a source of internal divisions in the PS, although the founder argues that it is an initiative that transcends party boundaries.
