José Luís Carneiro, secretary-general of the Socialist Party (PS), recently expressed that he does not anticipate surprises in the 2027 State Budget (OE2027). The politician emphasized that the budget proposal will align with what the government has previously presented to the PS parliamentary group.

Carneiro highlighted that his expectation is for the structure of OE2027 to remain intact, asserting that there are no reasons for significant changes to the announced budget guidelines. Additionally, the secretary-general warned that cuts to pensions or tax increases would be unacceptable.

Reiterating his position, Carneiro affirmed that abstention is the chosen course of action for the PS regarding OE2027. According to his statements, this decision aims to avoid a political confrontation that could lead the country into a difficult situation.

The defense of abstention was reinforced by Carneiro, who argued that his intention is not to push for drastic measures that could destabilize the country's economic outlook.

Carneiro also emphasized the importance of maintaining stability and continuity in the government's financial policy, aiming to foster confidence among citizens and the markets.
