Portuguese politics is described as managing the void, where parties have lost ideology and ideas. The article criticises the Prime Minister for having a management government with a reformist appearance, whose true reformism consists merely of lasting until the next political cycle. The opposition is likewise censured for focusing solely on criticising circumstances, without knowing the country's facts, while the real country remains motionless.
The text questions the disqualification of the Portuguese political class in a country that has its most qualified generation ever. The polarisation the article identifies is not between parties, but between the "upper Portuguese" and the "lower Portuguese", dominated by an oligarchy that passes itself off as a democratic elite, while the qualified generation is consigned to the mediocrity of a poor middle class by European standards.
Chega is described as the party of a demagogic opportunist with Napoleonic tendencies, without competence. The article mentions that the party's leader threatens to present a Motion of Censure and questions whether it would not be time to think about a Constructive Motion of Censure. A government-appointed Commission published a study on Social Security announcing the system's bankruptcy, but the government promised to do absolutely nothing about it, with the Socialist Party guaranteeing yet another condition for the approval of the budget.
The President of the Republic is criticised for travelling across the country with pomp but nothing to communicate, in a redundant discourse. The article also mentions that the Return and Asylum Law passed at the Constitutional Court and makes reference to the MAI (Minister of Internal Administration) driving a trafficker's car under a loan agreement.
