Exames nacionais: «O primeiro-ministro tem aqui um problema político sério»

National Exams: "The Prime Minister has a serious political problem here" On NOW, former Environment Minister Duarte Cordeiro analyzed current Portuguese politics. Regarding the revision of resident population figures and the counting of immigrants, after the Socialist Party summoned the National Institute of Statistics (INE) to Parliament, Duarte Cordeiro warns of a biased debate, stating: "I doubt whether this methodological change will benefit our country." He emphasizes that the focus should be on retaining young talent with better salaries. Addressing the shortcomings in the digitalization of national exams, Duarte Cordeiro warns the Government about the timetable, stressing that "if it doesn't go ahead, the Prime Minister has a serious political problem here." In his analysis of the rural fire season and the heat wave, he criticizes the transfer of the Agency for Integrated Rural Fire Management to the Ministry of Agriculture, admitting: "I am concerned about the absence of strategy, of strategic coordination," despite praising the operational experience of the current Minister of Internal Administration. #DuarteCordeiro #SocialistParty #NationalExams #HigherEducation #Demography #Immigration #RuralFires #FirePrevention #ForestryEconomy #InternalAdministration #NationalPolitics #GovernmentOfPortugal #PoliticalDebate #PoliticalAnalysis #NOWChannel #CurrentEvents
