- Monitoring the final voting statements of the parties in the joint plenary of Parliament.
Analysis limitations
- The article reports political positions and official statements of the parties; the verification attests to the authenticity of the statements, but does not constitute a factual validation of the underlying economic dispute.
- The negotiation process and the development of the government program are ongoing events at the time of analysis.
- Some quotes did not pass source verification or connection to the statement and were removed; the status of each statement reflects the evidence preserved in its list.
- The central claim is verified only through secondary media coverage — among the cited evidence, no primary source (the named publication, the court portal, the original document) appears.
- Evidence that the positions of PSD or AUR have been distorted compared to the official statements issued.
