PS wants to know what supports the prohibition of ULS/Algarve workers from attending Medical school

Correio da Manhã8 September 2026 at 13:40

The Socialist Party (PS) announced that it will question the government about the grounds that support the prohibition imposed on workers at the Local Health Unit (ULS) of the Algarve from attending Medical school. The issue arises in a context of growing concern regarding working conditions and training in the health sector.

For the socialists, this situation is of particular concern in the Algarve region. The Algarve region faces significant difficulties in attracting, training, and retaining doctors in the National Health Service (SNS), which further aggravates the problems of shortage of health professionals in the area.

Public servant worked 52 years and receives €680 pension: pensioner confronts Montenegro and asks "Do you think that's fair?"

A former public servant confronted Prime Minister Luís Montenegro during a campaign visit to Livramento Market in Setúbal, questioning whether she thought it was fair to receive only €680 pension after 52 years of work. Montenegro responded that it would be necessary to analyze the specific case, and during the visit he was also confronted by other retirees with similar complaints, including a pensioner who receives €350 and a former combatant who lost €280 from his pension during the troika. The article explains that the pension value depends on multiple factors beyond working time, and notes that the lowest pensions were updated in January 2026 with a 2.80% increase.
