Passos Coelho says Montenegro's time is running out. Minister responds: there are problems to solve since his Government

SAPO15 September 2026 at 08:59

Passos Coelho stated that the time available for the current Government to advance reforms is running out. This position was expressed in the preface of the book "Portugal na Paz dos Bloqueios".

The minister responds to these statements by Passos Coelho, highlighting that there are problems to solve that date back to his own term as prime minister. The response comes directly following the criticisms made by the former head of the Executive.

The book in question serves as context for this political debate between Passos Coelho and the current Government led by Montenegro. The exchange of opinions reflects the tensions between the former and current prime ministers about the pace and direction of reforms in the country.

Why this matters

This exchange of accusations between the former and current prime minister is relevant for Portuguese readers because it reflects internal political tensions and the dispute over responsibility for the country's structural problems, feeding the public debate on governance and the country's direction.
