PCP accuses PS of contributing to Chega's "mask"
The PCP leader criticized the PS for its declared intention to support the 2027 State Budget, arguing this decision relieves the Chega party from having to vote for the budget and allows it to maintain a political "mask." Separately, the PCP is pushing for a parliamentary vote next week on a bill to provide a 50-euro interim increase to all pensions, with retroactive payments to July, which the party argues is necessary to combat the rising cost of living.
