RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 20:50

The Portuguese Government rejected accusations of "opportunism" related to the announcement of measures for pensioners, including the attribution of a pension supplement. The executive also responded to criticisms regarding the reduction of IRS, defending that the measures were not taken for opportunistic political reasons. This reaction comes following criticisms that arose regarding the timing of the measures, suggesting they may be related to the proximity of electoral events or other political interests. The Executive emphasized that the implemented policies follow a logic of sustainability and long-term planning, not being motivated by calculations of an opportunistic nature.
