Mariana Leitão says the Government "ordered the truth" about Social Security to "decide not to use it"

Sábado15 September 2026 at 12:52

Mariana Leitão, president of Iniciativa Liberal (IL), criticized the Portuguese Government for ordering information about Social Security and then deciding not to use it for decision-making. The liberal leader considered that this posture demonstrates a lack of respect for transparency and the responsible use of available data.

The IL leader also defended that Portuguese citizens should be treated as adults, suggesting that the Executive should share information openly and allow citizens to evaluate political options based on concrete data. This position is part of the broader debate about government transparency and accountability to citizens.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are affected because Mariana Leitão's criticism concerns the way the executive manages information about Social Security, a theme that directly impacts citizens through pension policies, social support, and the financial sustainability of the system. The IL president warns of a possible lack of transparency in government decision-making.
