What went well and wrong in the PRR?

Expresso3 September 2026 at 07:00

The article critically analyses the execution of European Union funding programmes in Portugal. The author argues that the country needed to completely reinvent how it builds its community aid programmes, but that this did not happen.

According to the text, PT 2020 repeated errors from previous programmes. More seriously, both the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan) and PT 2030 are said to have amplified these same errors, instead of correcting them.

The author identifies a single universe that benefited from this situation: consultants and the companies or institutions described as "gluttonous", suggesting that these entities have been the main winners from this management model.

The article presents itself as a critique of the European funds management model in Portugal, questioning the effectiveness and transparency of its execution.
