A study on the impact of menstruation on health and quality of life; working groups to study, evaluate, present proposals —for the decontamination of the Paiva River, medical boards or light pollution—; an assessment of the “hydraulic infrastructure”; and a white paper on sex work and prostitution in Portugal. Among others, many other proposals. Most of the opposition measures made possible by the PS do not commit the Government to significant changes in its Budget, but instruct it to study hypotheses, possibilities, scenarios. Nothing very concrete and, therefore, neither with a great budgetary impact, but it served so that Livre and the PAN could boast of having managed to get proposals approved.
Nothing that has gone unnoticed by opposition critics. Paula Santos, from the PCP, accused the parties of Rui Tavares and Inês Sousa Real of having “again” played the role of “supporting the options of the PS; soaking the budget with more studies and working groups, typical of those who do not intend to solve any problem. Pedro Filipe Soares, from Bloco, also agreed with the same speech: “This budget has studies, commissions, plans, and even has working groups. It is no coincidence, the structural decisions were already taken and have not changed.”
The truth is that in 2023 the Government will have many dossiers, notebooks and even a book to study. About what exactly?
