The prime minister responded to criticism from the secretary-general of the Socialist Party, José Luís Carneiro, who accused the government of failing on the wage issue. During his response, the head of government questioned whether a net increase of 15% over two years can be considered a failure.
The prime minister criticized José Luís Carneiro's stance, saying he "often goes down that more populist vein to say everything is wrong." The exchange of accusations comes in the context of a political debate about the government's wage policy.
José Luís Carneiro, as leader of the main opposition party, has been pointing out failures in governance, particularly in the economic area and workers' incomes. This exchange of words reflects the political tension between the government and the Socialist Party.
