Defeat at the Constitutional Court: Someone is being very badly advised

Observador31 August 2026 at 08:34

This article is a political commentary on a defeat at the Constitutional Court. The text mentions the President of the Republic, who promulgated the ban on mobile phones in schools, and Luís Montenegro, the Prime Minister, who has apparently only now identified problems with the digitisation programme. The article presents a structure comparing these political figures as "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", a reference to the famous western film. The title suggests that someone is receiving bad advice, which is presented as the reason for the defeat at the Constitutional Court. This is a very short text, without development of the facts, consisting mainly of a provocative title and a caption that establishes political comparisons.

The Portuguese Government announced 100% execution of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), having fulfilled the 44 reforms agreed with the European Commission and securing access to more than 16,000 million euros in EU funds. However, the reality on the ground reveals dozens of structural works still unfinished, including investments in public housing and transport. To meet the targets in Brussels, the Executive transferred around two thousand million euros in interventions from EU funding to the State Budget. The Minister for the Economy and Territorial Cohesion, Manuel Castro Almeida, guaranteed that this additional expenditure would not involve any tax increases.
