Torching the ol' tax man ain't just a catchy tune, says our Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro - it's a dose of justice for the sweat-drenched workforce! He dropped this gem during the Government program debate in the Assembly of the Republic, in response to a CDS-PP question for clarification.

Montenegro also promises that this legislature won't be a tax-heavy ride, as the Government intends to keep shaving taxes off our income, like a straight razor to a dull blade. Remember, it's one of their main goals to whittle down that IRS up to the 8th bracket by a cool two billion euros by 2029, with an initial hack of 500 million euros planned for 2025.

This knife twist'll hit those with the lowest incomes and middle-class folks the hardest, so sayeth our fearless leader. The suggestion is coming soon, within the next two weeks, and will be tossed over to parliament with a cherry on top.
