PS accuses Chega of helping the Government and argues that VAT reduction cannot wait until January

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 12:28

The Socialist Party accused Chega of helping the Government in its political strategy. The criticism arises in the context of economic measures being debated.

PS argued that VAT reduction cannot wait until January. This position was expressed by Eurico Brilhante Dias, a party member.

According to Eurico Brilhante Dias, Portuguese people will not be able to hold out until January without these support measures. The socialist official emphasized the urgency of the interventions.

The debate over the timing of economic measures thus opposes PS to the Executive, with the party criticizing both the Government's actions and Chega's role in supporting the executive.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by these tax measures, as the postponement of VAT reduction impacts the purchasing power of families. This exchange of accusations between opposition parties reveals the political tensions around cost of living response policies, being relevant for those following the national political landscape.
