Summary:

  • Luís Montenegro compares the current PS government to José Sócrates' administration.

  • Criticism focuses on the tendency to "promise everything to everyone".

  • Questions raised about the fiscal responsibility of António Costa.

The president of the PSD, Luís Montenegro, has drawn a striking comparison between the current PS government and that of former Prime Minister José Sócrates. This comparison arose following the PS's presentation of its electoral program for the upcoming legislative elections, which Montenegro claims is characterized by a tendency to "promise everything to everyone". He questions whether António Costa's fiscal responsibility claims hold any merit in light of this approach.
