honestly yeah, the new logo sucked. Looks like an Italian flag with wonky proportions and a weird yellow spot. I have no idea what Costa was thinking here.
Yeah, the goal of Costa's government was to create a logo "inclusive, plural and secular, with reinforced ecological awareness". Of course, the reaction was "Really? This? lol". Montenegro then accused Costa's government of "succumbing Portugal's historic and identity references" and promised to bring back the old logo if he became Prime Minister.

The "new" logo was terrible, but the fact this is the first thing the government did and the reasoning for it are unfortunate. Probably an attempt to win over some of those low info Chega voters.

Pedro Nuno Santos shakes off the pressure to "support" the Government and warns that Montenegro is victimizing itself by thinking about elections
24 hours after the swearing in ceremony and also after some criticism for not being present, Pedro Nuno Santos appeared to respond to PM Luis Montenegro's speech. PNS pointed that Montenegro speech was much more focused on the opposition rather than in Portugal, and that the government is already acting like a "victim". He said that the speech had no vision, no ambition for the country and pressed that the PS is not "obligated" to support this government, even if that's the wish of many people in the PSD. Pointing that he saw the speech as "blackmail", PNS said that there are much more similarities, in terms of policies between PSD an CHEGA, rather than with the PS. Regarding the budget, Nuno Santos, once again, said it will be very dificult for the party to let it pass, saying that his job is to defend the Socialists' manifesto and that the role of the PS will never be of the "crutch" of the PSD.

Well, in politics, and in much in life, image is everything and in this case it shows that there is a "new management" in the store, but also shows that they have very little power beyond changing the logo of the government.

IGAS concludes that scheduling the twins' first appointment was illegal
The Brazilian twins case, that "haunted" President Marcelo and broke basically at the same time as Costa's resignation back in November 2023, had a new development today. The General Health Inspection finalized their report regarding the case and concluded that several illegal conducts were made. The report says that the appointment consultation for the twins was illegally made and violated the rules of the NHS, but the report clears Saint Mary Hospital, Lisbon, of any wrongdoing saying it just followed rules and orders. The report "blames" the then Health Secretary for the illegal appointement, after a meeting with the son of President Marcelo, Nuno Rebelo de Sousa. The report has now been sent to the Public Prosecutor in order to determine whether a crime has been committed.
