The Socialist Party will hold in Leiria what it classifies as the "first great meeting of socialist local officials after the elections," where issues related to local power will be discussed.
The main topics under discussion include the New Local Electoral Law, the Local Finance Law, regionalization, and the Statute of Local Officials, which are part of a set of reforms that the PS intends to implement.
The stated objective of these meetings is to gather contributions from local officials for a broader project to "reform the country," highlighting the importance the party attaches to valuing local power.
The event in Leiria comes in the context of an effort by the PS to strengthen its position among elected local officials and prepare the ground for the structural reforms it intends to carry out at the level of local administration.
