Public policies: what makes an idea advance?

Expresso8 September 2026 at 20:23

The deputies were elected and needed to acquire tools to understand how recommendations become policy decisions. This was the context for the Training Day of Health Parliament Portugal.

Health Parliament Portugal is a project developed in partnership by Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, NOVA University Lisbon, and Microsoft. The newspaper Expresso serves as media partner for this initiative.

The Training Day aimed to allow the elected deputies to get to know each other better and acquire the necessary knowledge to understand the process of developing public health policies.

The training specifically addressed the transition between recommendations and concrete decisions within health policies, providing participants with the first tools for the exercise of their duties.

Adelino Maltez: "Let's have several votes on motions of censure because maybe taxes will drop even more"

Political experts José Adelino Maltez and José Palmeira commented on the rejection of the motion of censure against the Government, considering that the Executive "came out tied" from the vote. Maltez criticized the prime minister's strategy of announcing IRS reductions up to the sixth bracket during the debate, suggesting ironically that more motions of censure should be held so that taxes continue to drop. Palmeira warned that political wear remains, although the Government may recover if it maintains the perception that there is no better alternative. Both agreed that Chega came out favored by the rejection, taking the opportunity to reinforce its political position.
