Portugal's Recovery Plan: Government Moves Forward Despite Political Crisis

Government's Commitment to PRR and Portugal 2030

The Portuguese government asserts its determination to continue managing the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and the Portugal 2030 reprogramming, despite the ongoing political crisis. The proposal for this reprogramming is set to be submitted by the end of March.

Focus on Grants Over Loans

Minister Manuel Castro Almeida, responsible for European funds, emphasizes that the priority is to operate as if the government were stable and the parliament functional. This strategy highlights a key shift: saving the PRR does not mean saving all of it. The primary goal is to ensure that Portugal receives its rightful share of grants. As for loans, the government will reassess their necessity moving forward.
