The Festa do Avante ended with a speech by Paulo Raimundo that left warnings for the Government. In his closing speech, Raimundo accused the executive of lack of transparency in its decisions.
The political leader directed severe criticisms at the Executive, accusing it of preparing an 'assault on Social Security'. This accusation comes in the context of concerns about how the Government may be planning changes to the social protection system.
In addition to criticizing the Government, Paulo Raimundo took the opportunity to leave warnings for the PS, the Socialist Party, which is the main opposition party in Portugal.
The Festa do Avante is traditionally an event organized by the Portuguese Communist Party, serving as a moment of convergence of its political positions and mobilization of its supporters.
