"The Portuguese contribution to the Union budget is higher than that of all the frugal countries (except Austria), if we analyze it (as it should be, especially in a single market) in proportion to each one's GDP. I say one simple thing to all: giving 10 out of 100 is much more than giving 50 out of 1000. If we are not able to solve the concrete problems of people, we open space for the growth of demagoguery, populism, and extremism. That is why our response cannot be merely technocratic and rhetorical. It has to be political." In this context, Luís Montenegro did not fail to respond directly to the frugal countries: "The Portuguese contribution to the Union budget is higher than that of all the frugal countries (except Austria), if we analyze it (as it should be, especially in a single market) in proportion to each one's GDP.

Xico Graziano wrote that Renan Santos led the MBL, founded the Missão party, presented proposals that he considered interesting for the country, and contested the elections with idealism. According to Graziano, ideological polarization consumed the energy of the campaign, and politicians rarely engaged in self-criticism after a defeat, preferring to attribute it to others or external factors. The author stated that Santos had launched good ideas but questioned whether Missão had been able to find fertile ground for them or if the proposals themselves hindered their realization. He also mentioned that the party's challenge continued to be formulating a development model without populism, based on economic freedom, technological education, and the empowerment of individuals, without public assistance that he called handouts or oversight of progressive agendas. He added that the model should include fighting organized crime and expressed hope that it would be viable in Brazil. #política #RenanSantos #ideologia (translated)

Estefania Molina wrote that she did not believe Pedro Sánchez had yet decided whether to call elections. Nevertheless, she maintained that he was an unparalleled politician in Spain for decades and the undisputed leader of the left. Molina recalled that in 2016 Sánchez obtained 85 seats, while Podemos was gaining strength and Pablo Iglesias was sparking enthusiasm among young people. According to her, the PSOE, with 150 years of history, was then facing the risk of disappearing. The author considered Sánchez's economic policies to be counterproductive and short-term, stating that growth was supported by the increase in the number of workers rather than by productivity. She also described his housing policies as populist and said they pointed the average owner as guilty without addressing the underlying problem. Despite these criticisms, Molina asserted that Sánchez was the best politician known to a generation of young people. She added that, in her view, he would call elections when he could ensure the PSOE a solid position in opposition, and maintained that the right could not aspire to have a leader like him. #PedroSánchez #PolíticaEspañola #Juventud (translated)
