PRR. The setbacks of ambition

The Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) of Portugal is at the center of a discussion about discrepancies between what was initially announced and what was actually executed. The Minister of Economy publicly defended that the plan was "fully executed," presenting this as an achievement of the executive. However, the information conveyed suggests that not all projects completed by the deadline of August 31 corresponded to those promised at the beginning of the plan's implementation. This situation raises questions about the transparency and consistency of the government's promises regarding the RRP's priorities. The plan, which represents a significant investment of European funds for the country's economic recovery, appears to have undergone adjustments or changes during its implementation period that were not clearly communicated to the public.
