Briefings

António José Seguro, President of Portugal, delivered a speech on October 5, 2026, at the 5th of October celebrations in Lisbon. He highlighted urgent economic challenges including high housing costs, low salaries, pension burdens, and energy crises. Seguro called for a new political culture focused on strategic, long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes or ideological disputes, emphasizing the need for economic agents to be evaluated by their results. He also noted that while political differences exist, they must not hinder dialogue and that stability depends on the government's ability to respond to citizens' problems. The speech was delivered during a formal ceremony attended by other political leaders.
