Mariana Leitão attacks Government for false "wonderland" and ignoring study on pensions: "Ordered the truth and decided not to use it"

Expresso15 September 2026 at 13:26

Mariana Leitão, in the closing speech of the Iniciativa Liberal Parliamentary Sessions, harshly criticized the Government for having commissioned a report on the future of the pension system and then refusing to advance Social Security reform during this legislature.

Mariana Leitão's criticism focused on the allegation that the Executive lives in a false "wonderland," ignoring the available data and studies on the pension situation in Portugal.

The liberal leader accused the Government of having "ordered the truth" but deciding not to use it, suggesting the intention was to know the reality of the system but without acting in accordance with the conclusions.

This attack comes in the context of the Iniciativa Liberal Parliamentary Sessions, where Mariana Leitão took the opportunity to present the party's position on the structural reforms it considers necessary for the country.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers are directly affected by decisions on pensions and Social Security; the criticism comes following debates about the sustainability of the pension system in Portugal and the Executive's refusal to implement promised reforms.
