Minister guarantees that pension supplement does not unbalance public accounts

SAPO Notícias11 September 2026 at 19:20

The Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, Rosário Palma Ramalho, announced that the government will assign an extraordinary supplement to pensioners. This supplement represents an estimated cost of around 400 million euros for the State.

Rosário Palma Ramalho publicly assured that this measure will not cause any imbalance in Portuguese public accounts, ensuring the financial sustainability of the initiative.

The supplement is intended for pensioners and constitutes a measure to support the purchasing power of this segment of the population. The government justifies the measure as a response to the economic difficulties faced by pensioners.

Rui Rocha: "MPs make many flourishes; they're used to TikTok"

In an interview with Jornal Económico, Rui Rocha, former leader of Iniciativa Liberal, explained the methodology behind his standout performance at the parliamentary hearing of Minister Luís Neves, where he asked concrete and focused questions that exposed the minister's inability to respond to important matters. Rocha criticized the remaining MPs for using open and too "flowery" questions, a habit he attributes to their familiarity with social media like TikTok. He defended that a good parliamentary question should be concise, closed, and preceded by a clear position from the questioner, in order to force the interlocutor to rebut or, through silence, validate his thesis. He revealed he started preparation in August, with a small team, and regretted not having had time to ask the minister what he would do if he were made a defendant.
