“It would be incomprehensible for the PS to be sidelined because a right-wing majority, in coalition with the far-right, removed the PS from the Constitutional Court. It would be unacceptable, and it would be unacceptable if one day we did that to the PSD,” said José Luís Carneiro. The Portuguese people would not find it right “if the PS, founder of freedoms and fundamental rights, were left out,” the leader added.

The article “Desalentos” by Eduardo Oliveira e Silva discusses the challenges facing Portugal in the context of its development and infrastructure projects. The author expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of the PTRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan), citing failures of previous plans and a lack of capable institutions, skilled construction companies, and financial resources at the municipal level. He highlights the absence of strategic consensus among political parties, civil society, and business groups, which hampers progress. The piece emphasizes the need for a comprehensive reevaluation of the country's approach to development, particularly in light of climate change and evolving circumstances. Oliveira e Silva warns that without strong leadership and broad consensus, Portugal risks becoming irrelevant and burdensome to its partners due to ongoing incompetence.
