PS scheduled an urgent debate on the increase in the cost of living in Portugal. The socialists wanted to get ahead of Chega, which had already scheduled a debate on the same topic for the 24th. The PS initiative thus appears as a way of getting ahead of the opposition on this issue. In statements to TSF, the PS parliamentary leader considered that the country cannot wait for solutions and criticized the executive's inaction. The socialist also accused the Government of being paralyzed in the face of the cost of living crisis affecting the Portuguese.
