Portuguese Right Advocates Retirement Age Reduction
The government is seeking support from political parties, including Chega and PS, for a work-related initiative. Negotiations are underway with these parties, but the government has rejected Chega's demand to lower the retirement age. A political faction in Portugal, referred to as "the right," is advocating for a reduction in the retirement age. This proposal is deemed counterproductive given the country's social indicators, as people are living longer and have a higher active age. The move is also seen as risking the sustainability of social security and the balance of public accounts by removing individuals from the labor market prematurely.

“à direita a redução da idade da reforma. Portanto, isso é contraproducente com todos os indicadores sociais que o país tem.”
