The controversial changes proposed by the Government to the Public Contracts Code, to simplify and make more flexible the execution of European funds, may be approved in the Assembly of the Republic with the help of the Social Democratic Party (PSD).

The PSD underlines, however, that, for now, everything is open and there may be no viability if the Government does not respect “red lines”.
