The government plans to increase the current network of Citizen Spaces by 250 by the second half of 2026, reaching new locations where there are still no public services, and reaching a total of 1,143 ‘Espaços Cidadão’. The expansion will take place in the consular network, national hospitals, higher education institutions and local authorities, said the Ministry of Youth and Modernisation today, stressing that the government wants to assure “access to public services, independently of where people live or their spoken language”.
