Castro Guerra: "REN should never have been sold, it is a sovereignty instrument"

Público31 August 2026 at 06:56

The former PS government official and former president of Cimpor, Castro Guerra, considered that REN should never have been sold, classifying it as a sovereignty instrument. His statements arise in the context of a deal between Moeve and Galp that is generating controversy.

Castro Guerra defends that the current Government of Luís Montenegro has the possibility to veto this deal between the two companies. According to the former government official, this position of the Executive has the backing of European law to support any potential intervention.

The deal between Moeve and Galp thus emerges as a delicate topic in the Portuguese political and economic landscape, with critical voices questioning the sale of strategic assets for the country. Castro Guerra's intervention joins the debate about the control of essential infrastructures.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
