The secretary-general of the PS reacted to the prime minister's speech at the PSD Summer University, accusing Montenegro of trying to politically whitewash the Education Minister. According to the socialist leader, Montenegro sought to minimize or hide the problems that occurred during the national exams.
Carneiro classified the problems recorded in the national exams as one of the biggest failures of the current Government. This accusation comes at a time of strong political pressure on the Education portfolio, after several logistical and technical failures that affected students.
The PSD Summer University served as the stage for this exchange of criticism between the two main Portuguese political parties, with the PS taking the opportunity to reinforce its position against Montenegro's Executive.
The article does not reveal additional details about the specific failures in the exams or about the reactions of the prime minister or the Education Minister to the accusations.
