PS Secretary-General José Luís Carneiro accused the Luís Montenegro government of engaging in a “masquerade ball” with Chega leader André Ventura regarding labour law reforms. During a visit to the West Sea shipyards in Viana do Castelo, Carneiro criticised the government's lack of sensitivity and its willingness to align with Chega.
