Célia Pessegueiro, socialist leader, criticized centralization as a factor that is blocking the arrival of funds. The leader of the Socialist Party pointed fingers at the Government and the Assembly, accusing both institutions of contributing to this situation.
The socialist leader defended that clear rules are needed to solve the problem of fund distribution. Pessegueiro argues that the lack of transparency and defined criteria is harming territories and citizens.
This position arises in the context of a broader debate on decentralization and the management of public funds in Portugal, themes that have been generating tension between the Socialist Party and the PSD/CDS-PP executive.
