The Secretary of State for the Economy, José Luís Carneiro, criticized the Government's actions, accusing it of "giving with one hand and taking away with two." The criticism comes in the context of warnings about the difficulties faced by Portuguese families.
This position by José Luís Carneiro comes at a time of debate about the impact of the Executive's economic measures. The official expressed concern about the financial situation of many families in Portugal.
The accusation of "giving with one hand and taking away with two" suggests that the measures taken by the Government will have negative consequences that cancel out or outweigh the benefits of other initiatives. José Luís Carneiro thus aims to draw attention to the need for more balanced policies.
