PS questions the calendar of the Military Programming Law and asks for clarifications from Nuno Melo

The PS party is questioning the government's timeline for revising the Military Programming Law (LPM) and whether the replacement of F-16 fighters will be included. Concerns were raised by PS deputy Luís Dias regarding the limited time available for parliamentary review and the implications of the upcoming state budget discussions. He emphasized the strategic importance of integrating fighter jet acquisition into the LPM. Additionally, the PS highlighted a chronic shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces and expressed doubts about the proposed Volunteer Military Service. Dias stated that the PS is open to consensus on increasing military personnel and is working on a legislative proposal to address these issues.
