Is the INCF malfunctioning? Public administration as a whole? Are citizens trapped in a web of complexity where everything drags on? But simplifying and cutting red tape is done through reforms, Mr Minister.
What if the ministers had any shame?

Context & Explainers
The Public Administration (Administração Pública) is Portugal's central, regional and local government bodies and the public-sector workforce that deliver services like healthcare, education and municipal functions. A pay rise announced on 20 February 2026 raised the state's base public-sector salary to €934.99 with retroactive payments back to January 2026, so employees and those who contract with state bodies should expect updated payrolls and potential budget effects.
