OE2027. Carneiro justifies viability with global crises

The leader of the PS party, José Luís Carneiro, defended the decision to support the 2027 State Budget, citing the ongoing cost of living crisis in Portugal and political instability in several countries. He emphasized the importance of avoiding a political crisis that could worsen the situation for citizens already facing difficulties with housing and essential goods. Carneiro criticized the government's budget as inadequate but stated that his priority is to protect Portugal from further political turmoil, especially given the global context of conflicts and crises in Europe and beyond.
