PSU: «É um exercício ideológico de punição dos pobres»

PSU: "It's an ideological exercise in punishing the poor" On the NOW program 'Contas Certas', former Finance Minister Fernando Medina analyzed the government's proposal for the Single Social Benefit and the upcoming meeting of the European Central Bank. Regarding the new benefit, Fernando Medina criticized the changes in access criteria, considering that they make it more difficult to grant support to the most vulnerable citizens. The former governor highlighted the introduction of rules such as the accounting of vehicles in assets and the creation of a hotline for reporting, stating that "the entire government discourse and what motivated even the presentation and the way this benefit is presented is an ideological exercise in punishing the poor and those made difficult by their own situation." Medina stressed that the Socialist Party will vote against the proposal. #FernandoMedina #SingleSocialBenefit #EuropeanCentralBank #InterestRates #Inflation #SoundAccounts #NOWChannel #SocialistParty #PortugueseEconomy #BankOfPortugal #SocialInsertionIncome #CombatingPoverty #SocialPolicies #GovernmentOfPortugal #MárioCenteno #MiddleEast
