At the official start of the school year in Setúbal, Prime Minister Luís Montenegro refused to comment on the new warning from Passos Coelho and a study from the former head of Government, declining to respond directly to the criticism. Montenegro stated that he will not deviate from the "focus" of his political and governmental priorities.
The prime minister left several messages during the ceremony to open the school year, without specifying details about the content of his messages. His intervention came at a time of political tension, following statements from his predecessor.
In one of his most direct statements, Montenegro affirmed that no one "changes the country with whining," transmitting a message of action and determination in the face of the challenges the country faces.
The ceremony in Setúbal marked the official start of the school year, at an event that featured the presence of the Government leader and that was marked by the absence of comments on the controversy with Passos Coelho.
