PS leader José Luís Carneiro said the Government is "halfway" to the Socialist Party being able to look at the State Budget. This position comes following a set of conditions that the PS defined for potential budget negotiations.
The Executive will have secured two of the four conditions set by the PS. The first condition met relates to maintaining the pension system unchanged throughout the current legislature.
The second condition accepted by the Government consists of guaranteeing the completion of ongoing works after the end of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, thereby ensuring the continuity of projects already started.
With two of the four conditions already met, budget negotiations appear to be closer, although the remaining requirements that the PS considers essential to make the State Budget viable still remain to be defined.
