The Social Democratic Party (PSD) announced the 22nd edition of its Summer University, a political training program for approximately 100 young people in Castelo de Vide. The curriculum covers national, European, and international politics, including the economy, energy, and state reform.

As the event commenced, organizers noted a reduced presence of government ministers compared to the previous year, stating a deliberate effort to avoid creating a “mere echo chamber for official government narratives.” While Prime Minister Luís Montenegro is scheduled to close the program, the participating ministers are limited to Paulo Rangel and Margarida Balseiro Lopes. The speaker lineup includes various political figures and emphasizes female leadership.
