The Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, said this Thursday in Castelo Branco that the Government will present a plan “very soon” to resolve problems at INEM.
A few hours after saying, in Castelo de Vide, that the Minister of Health had said everything there was to say in relation to INEM’s problems, Luís Montenegro stated in Castelo Branco that the Government will present a plan very soon to respond to these problems.
Almost at the end of a speech at the Escola Superior de Educação de Castelo Branco focused on higher education, Luís Montenegro ended up addressing the INEM issue, to say that “journalists are very upset — unless it is –“, for not responding.” exactly the question” they ask you.
“I already know that they only want to talk about INEM. But I want to say that there is a country that swarms every day, despite INEM’s problems, which are serious and which we are resolving and will resolve. We will present a plan very soon to resolve this problem”, said Luís Montenegro.
Luís Montenegro spoke after inaugurating renovated spaces at the Escola Superior Agrária and the Escola Superior de Educação, institutions of the Castelo Branco Polytechnic Institute.
The prime minister stressed that the members of the executive are “very committed” to this resolution, as well as to “deepening, clarifying and investigating everything that was or may have been a malfunction” of INEM.

It is the project of us believing in our country, of us believing that we can build more opportunities , that we were able to generate more wealth”, he highlighted.
For Luís Montenegro, the country concentrates a lot of its energy on “insisting on the same problems”, considering that, if “time is spent just dealing with these”, which receive media attention, it does not give “hope or a future to the country”.
