What the PS wants in the OE and where it can oppose the Government

The PS leader presented various proposals during the State Budget debate, focusing on housing, cost of living, and public service conditions. The party aims to revive previously rejected proposals on fuel, food, agriculture, and transport, including a cap on fuel tax increases. José Luís Carneiro emphasized the need to prevent further tax burdens on citizens. The PS also plans to propose temporary VAT reductions on essential food items and support for sectors affected by the crisis. In housing, Carneiro called for a moratorium on rental contracts expiring this year and proposed public guarantees for rentals. Additionally, he highlighted the need for measures to retain healthcare professionals and improve conditions for security forces. The PS intends to address various educational funding issues, including opposing tuition fee increases in higher education.
