We are the party that places individual freedom at the heart of life in society. We defend private property, equal opportunities, and each person’s right to build their own life project, free from constraints and impositions.
We believe in an ambitious Portugal, with true social mobility, where initiative is valued and success is not punished — it is celebrated.
We are a reformist party. We fight against excessive state control that suffocates society and weakens the economy, offering concrete solutions to ensure quality public services, more opportunities, and greater prosperity for all.

Equality of opportunity
The Liberal Initiative believes in a country that values freedom and equal opportunity — where initiative is celebrated and success is not punished.
We believe in a Portugal where everyone knows it is possible to prosper through talent, creativity, and effort. A country where new generations can live better lives than their parents and grandparents.
We believe that Portugal can grow, and that everyone should be able to aspire to living standards comparable to those of the most developed countries — through merit, hard work, and the freedom to dream and achieve.
Economic growth
Excessive statism has pushed Portugal into the subjugation of individuals and communities, weakened society, drained the economy, stifled creativity, and caused hope to wither.
The Liberal Initiative believes it is possible to change this course. When put into practice, liberal ideas return control over their lives to individuals, unleash creative energy, open up new possibilities for the future, and generate prosperity.
We defend a free and open economy, capable of creating wealth and improving living standards for everyone through economic growth. Each person should be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor and build their own life project with autonomy and dignity.
Only with economic freedom will it be possible to reverse the stagnation that marked the first decades of the 21st century in Portugal.
Fighting excessive state intervention
Portugal has been dominated by an increasingly intrusive state that claims the right to decide and direct the lives of its people.
The Portuguese state has grown in size, complexity, and power. The public administration has been gradually captured by ideologues, politicians, and bureaucrats, becoming a heavy and opaque machine — a voracious consumer of resources that often no longer serves the citizens, but serves itself.
The Liberal Initiative calls for deep reform: a lean, transparent, and decentralized state, with strong institutions and a public administration that truly serves the people — fiscally responsible, efficient, and focused on what really matters.

SUA SAÚDE
SUA SAÚDE – Universal Health Access System – is the Liberal Initiative’s innovative proposal to reform Portugal’s healthcare system.
This model integrates the public, private, and social sectors, ensuring all Portuguese citizens true freedom of choice in accessing healthcare services.
