The article addresses the proposed changes to the local government law in Portugal, questioning their necessity. The author of the opinion, Alberto Souto de Miranda, criticizes what he considers an attempt to solve problems that do not exist.
The text is directed at José Luís Carneiro, a figure with experience as a local authority leader both in opposition and in the majority. Miranda suggests that Carneiro should carefully reflect before proceeding with these legislative changes.
The position defended in the article is clear: if there is no real problem to solve, there is no sense in creating complications through unnecessary legislative changes. The author apparently considers that these changes may generate more problems than those they intend to solve.
