Parties advocate increasing the value of food aid through the social card

The Portuguese parliament debated initiatives related to social support and family allowances, including a proposal by the JPP to update the amounts provided through the electronic card 'Mais Pessoas' and establish a periodic review mechanism for these values. Although this issue was not addressed during the parliamentary debate, several parties—PS, PAN, IL, Livre, and BE—support reviewing the food assistance amounts provided via the card. The Government (PSD/CDS) and Chega did not respond to inquiries.

A Assembleia da República debateu nesta quinta-feira um conjunto de iniciativas relacionadas com apoios sociais e o abono de família, entre as quais uma proposta do JPP para actualizar os montantes atribuídos através do cartão social electrónico Mais Pessoas e criar um mecanismo de revisão periódica dos respectivos valores, que será votada nesta sexta-feira. Este tema acabou por não ser abordado pelos deputados durante o debate parlamentar, mas, questionados pelo PÚBLICO, PS, PAN, IL, Livre e BE também defendem uma revisão dos valores atribuídos através deste apoio alimentar. O Governo (PSD/CDS) e o Chega não responderam.

Bias read (Center): The article presents multiple political parties advocating for changes to social support programs without favoring any specific side. It reports on the lack of response from the governing coalition and Chega but does so neutrally, without editorializing or using biased language.
