Key Proposals from AD's Electoral Program
The electoral program from the AD (PSD/CDS Coalition) outlines twenty significant measures aimed at improving the economic landscape of Portugal as the country approaches the legislative elections on May 18. Among these proposals is the ambitious plan to raise the minimum wage to €1,100 and the average salary to €2,000 by the end of the legislative term in 2029.
Focus on Pensioners
A notable highlight of the program is the commitment to ensure that no pensioner receives less than €870. This initiative is part of the broader goal to enhance the quality of life for the elderly, which includes plans to increase pensions and improve the Solidarity Complement for the Elderly. Furthermore, the program promises full exemptions on medication purchases for pensioners.
Legislative Context
The upcoming elections come after a period of political turbulence, including the resignation of the PSD/CDS-PP government led by Luís Montenegro following a failed confidence vote in March. This will mark the second legislative election in just over a year, as the government seeks to regain public support through these proposed reforms.
