The Socialist Party (PS) has expressed concern over the 'opacity' within the Lisbon City Council regarding the drainage plan initiated during Fernando Medina's tenure. With project costs reportedly exceeding the initial 140 million euro budget by 20%—an increase of approximately 30 million—the PS is seeking clarification on public spending. While acknowledging the need for stability in projects beneficial to the city, Alexandra Leitão criticized Carlos Moedas for the lack of a clear completion timeline, noting that the project was originally expected to be finished by May 2025. Leitão further accused the current administration of maintaining a 'veil of opacity' across all municipal matters. The drainage project, which includes the construction of two major tunnels to mitigate flooding, was originally awarded in 2020 under the previous PS-led administration.
