Summary:

  • Montenegro assures there is no expectation of a recession.

A Critical Exchange

The leader of the IL (Liberal Initiative) harshly criticized Prime Minister Luís Montenegro but left the door open for a post-election agreement. Montenegro boasted about his achievements, asserting that he is not a liberal but also did not close any doors.

Memorable Quotes

Luís Montenegro: “This Government is neither socialist nor liberal; it is social-democratic, focused on the people.”
Rui Rocha: “We are here because Luís Montenegro did not provide timely explanations.”
Luís Montenegro: “Our Budget was the first in memory that did not increase a single tax.”
Rui Rocha: “They have failed in Health, INEM, family doctors, and waiting lists. Montenegro was not reformist and leaned on the PS.”
Luís Montenegro: “Recession? We do not have that expectation.”
Rui Rocha: “The governance of the AD was a total absence of solutions for the stuck generation.”
Luís Montenegro: “I can guarantee stability and thus avoid a socialist government in Portugal.”
Rui Rocha: “If I were in Luís Montenegro's position, I would have ended the Spinumviva issue much earlier; it was irresponsible.”
