The execution deadline for the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan) is ending without knowing, in many cases, where the invested public money actually went. The Observador report investigated the companies that stood out most in terms of innovation within this plan.
The case of José Veiga is mentioned as one of the examples that raises doubts about the use of European funds. Also "Grandfather" Pimenta is referred to as a figure involved in these issues, in a context that suggests potential irregularities or questionable use of PRR public money.
The journalistic investigation seeks to clarify how money was applied in projects that were presented as innovative, but whose practical results remain uncertain. The doubts focus particularly on the so-called "day after" — meaning what happens after the execution deadlines end and how the verification of promised results will be carried out.
