PCP warns PS against enabling state budget
PCP Secretary-General Paulo Raimundo has warned the Socialist Party (Partido Socialista or PS) that enabling the upcoming State Budget would provide the government with conditions to intensify its policy agenda. Raimundo argued that such support would also relieve the Chega party of the need to act as the primary opposition, urging the PS to reject the budget instead.
Paulo Raimundo is the Secretary-General of the Portuguese Communist Party (Partido Comunista Português or PCP), a position he has held since November 2022. He is a career politician and former trade unionist who succeeded Jerónimo de Sousa as the leader of the party.

The Socialist Party (Partido Socialista or PS) has proposed regulation to increase transparency and protect consumers from misleading marketing or unexpected charges.
