Portuguese government officials are evaluating a new voluntary exit plan for RTP, which would cost approximately 12 million euros. The minister, António Leitão Amaro, stated the government is assessing conditions before deciding, noting the plan is additional to a 20 million euro capital increase. RTP is expected to face a loss of over 11 million euros in 2026 if the exit plan is executed in 2026, but not if delayed to 2027. The government also discussed advertising policy reforms and clarified that Lusa's executive director change was an agreement, not a government decision.
