José Luís Carneiro criticizes Montenegro at PS political rentrée

Socialist Party PS rentrée Portuguese politics José Luís Carneiro Luís Montenegro

José Luís Carneiro, Secretary-General of the Socialist Party (PS), marked the party's political 'rentrée' with a public event in Olhão, Algarve. During his speech, Carneiro launched sharp criticisms against Prime Minister Luís Montenegro and the ruling government, accusing them of being incapable of responding to national crises.

Carneiro specifically targeted the government's handling of the cost of living, inflation, and recent emergencies, including wildfires, storms, and power outages. He also criticized the management of national exams and the reduction of resources for the National Institute of Medical Emergency (INEM), announcing that the PS would seek a parliamentary review of the latter.

In a direct rebuttal to Montenegro's recent remarks, Carneiro accused the Prime Minister of practicing a form of 'censorship' against journalists and suggested that the government is failing to address essential issues. He framed the event as the beginning of a movement to build a political alternative to the current administration, drawing parallels to the Socialist Party's successful political resurgence in 1995.
