President of the Republic António José Seguro pledged on Thursday, April 9, to focus on the causes of veterans, refusing to treat them as a 'closed file,' and expressed confidence that the Government will meet their needs and overcome remaining shortcomings. During the Combatant's Day ceremony at the Batalha Monastery, Seguro emphasized that veterans are a living presence deserving of permanent state attention. He acknowledged past progress, such as free medication and health support, but insisted that more must be done to ensure the dignity of those who served the country, urging the Government to act without further delays.
