José Luís Carneiro, the PS Secretary-General, demanded explanations from Luís Montenegro regarding healthcare issues in the Algarve, following reports of a potential fourth death linked to hospital care. Carneiro criticized the government's decision to maintain hospital administration despite prior warnings about inadequate responses at the Portimão Hospital. He urged transparency on measures taken after these alerts and questioned Montenegro's rationale for retaining the administration.
