Portugal’s Labor Minister, Maria do Rosário Palma Ramalho, has cautioned that alterations to the decree concerning the Public Social Security System (PSU) would break the foundational agreement between the PSD, CDS-PP, and PS parties. She made this warning during a parliamentary session, emphasizing that any changes would violate the commitment these parties reached when authorizing the legislation. This agreement was crucial for the initial approval of the PSU decree. The minister’s statement suggests potential political tensions regarding future modifications to the social security system. Ramalho’s warning underscores the importance of maintaining the established consensus to avoid disrupting the current framework. The decree related to the *Proteção Social Universal* is at the center of this political debate within the Portuguese parliament. Further action on the decree will likely face scrutiny in light of the minister's comments.
