Prime Minister Luís Montenegro accused the Chega party of living exclusively of "elections, motions and dismissals", criticizing the opposition for focusing on these themes instead of on governmental work. Montenegro defended the Executive's action as being positive for the country.
The prime minister also announced an extraordinary supplement for pensioners, a measure that aims to support this segment of the population. This decision comes in the context of a set of social policies presented by the Government.
In addition to the supplement for pensioners, Montenegro revealed an IRS reduction to support the Portuguese middle class. This fiscal measure is part of the Executive's strategy to strengthen citizens' purchasing power and boost the economy.
The statements were made in the context of the current political debate in Portugal, where the relationship between the Government and the Chega party has proven to be particularly tense. The prime minister thus sought to demonstrate that the Executive's action is concrete and oriented towards results, contrasting with what he classified as Chega's posture.
