The secretary-general of PS, José Carlos Pereira, defended at the National Autarchy Convention, held in Leiria, that the party should "prepare the path" for holding a referendum on regionalization.
This position comes in the context of an event that brought together mayors and officials from the Socialist Party to discuss issues related to the territorial organization of the country.
The concept of "path" used by Carneiro suggests that regionalization should not be imposed immediately, but rather built gradually through a process that allows for the creation of the necessary political and social conditions.
The defense of a referendum on regionalization is part of a long-standing debate in Portugal about the administrative organization of the territory and the creation of regions with greater political and financial autonomy.
