I was elected secretary-general of the PS to think about and put first the interest of Portugal.

I was elected secretary-general of the PS to think about and put first the interest of Portugal. #Orçamento2026 #PartidoSocialista #CrisePolítica (translated)

The proposal amounts to 1.16% of the EU's gross national income. This review represents a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the volume of the current multiannual financial framework (as the European budget is known), which reaches approximately 47% when taking inflation into account. I want to emphasize that almost all budget programs experience an increase in our negotiation proposal. The Irish Minister for European Affairs and Defense, Thomas Byrne, presented the negotiation proposal stating that the “proposal amounts to 1.16% of the EU's gross national income. This review represents a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the volume of the current multiannual financial framework (as the European budget is known), which reaches approximately 47% when taking inflation into account. I want to emphasize that almost all budget programs experience an increase in our negotiation proposal.” I am convinced that this review of the overall budget volume and the rebalancing of priorities will allow us to respond to the preferences of the Member States and open the door to the next phase of negotiations. #PresupuestoEuropeo #Frugales #Irlanda (translated)

David Alandete wrote that the media decided which news to highlight, how much space to give it, and for how long, and argued that those decisions were fundamental. He stated that the case of Maricarmen, her eviction, and her death deserved thorough and respectful information, but questioned why some media outlets dedicated extraordinary coverage to them precisely during the pre-electoral period. He asked why this case was emphasized over others, and why certain responsible parties were pointed out without examining what the government had done after eight years in power. Alandete claimed that the housing problem was real and serious, and insisted that it should be addressed with more than just stories selected for their political utility. He contrasted independent journalism, which he said investigated and put things in context, with militant journalism, which he accused of selecting and amplifying stories. He also said that when the priorities of this journalism systematically matched those of the power, it was reasonable to ask who was setting the agenda. In his opinion, journalism should not preach moral sermons or indicate when and where to be outraged, but inform about everything that was happening, even when the facts were uncomfortable for those in power. #Periodismo #Vivienda #Desahucios (translated)

He said that the reduction would be in taxes, so that the money from the beneficiary mothers would yield more in the market and they would have more opportunities to improve their lives.
