The Socialist Party (PS) has today requested an urgent parliamentary hearing with the Minister of Economy and Territorial Cohesion, Manuel Castro Almeida, to discuss the execution of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This request comes against a backdrop where the political formation acknowledges meeting commitments made to the European Union but raises concerns about unfinished aspects of the plan.

According to the PS, there are projects in crucial areas such as health, housing, and social equipment that have yet to be completed. The party also highlights the issue of promoters who are awaiting payments, which could jeopardize the advancement of several initiatives.

The urgency of the request reflects the need to monitor the financial, material, and operational execution of the PRR, in light of the obligations assumed by Portugal towards the European Union. The PS emphasizes the importance of this issue for the continuity and effectiveness of the interventions planned under the scheme.

In addition, the party hopes that the hearing will provide an opportunity to clarify the actual status of the execution of projects associated with the PRR and the implications for society.

The request for the hearing has been reported by various sources, thereby highlighting a shared concern regarding the current situation of the PRR, with the PS at the forefront of a debate on the management and oversight of this important program.
