The bloc declares that “there is no AD”, but there is a “right-wing project” between Passos Coelho, PSD and Chega

The coordinator of the Bloc de Esquerda said this Friday that “there is no Democratic Alliance (AD) at all”, but rather a “right-wing project” that unites Pedro Passos Coelho, PSD and Chega, which “will be defeated in the next elections”.

“There is a lot of talk about a new AD, to be honest, there is no AD, there is a project that Passos Coelho has already taken over, an alliance between PSD and CEGA, which they did in the Azores. “This is a project and goal of the right,” Mariana Mortagua said when asked about the announcement of an electoral coalition between the PSD and the SDS-PP.

In Porto, during a visit to the newsroom of the Jornal de Notícias e do Jogo, the bloc leader also commented on data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which points to a surplus of 3.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the first nine countries. months of the year, highlighting that this surplus has “the flip side of underinvestment” in areas such as health and education.

“The country knows what this right-wing project has done, this great family uniting Pedro Passos Coelho, Luis Montenegro, Andre Ventura, they all came from the same party, they have the same project for the country, they were defeated after the “troika” of evil they have caused to the country and they will be defeated in the next elections,” he said.

According to Mariana Mortagua, “law is a return to the past, law was defeated in the past, and what is necessary is to find the conditions so that the country can imagine the future, and to dream of the future means to do something that has not yet happened.” made”.

“The role of the left, since the right will not have a majority, is to find solutions for this country and to find solutions to the problems that matter. Housing issues, health issues, wages matter, and freedom of communication also has social importance,” he is thoughtful.

Faced with a budget surplus, the bloc leader criticized the PS in her response: “This means that over time this absolute majority of the PS made some decisions, some of which had already been made before, and supported the idea of ​​​​having budget goals that always go beyond framework of what was the goal, in short, to show Brussels goals that are not investments in public services,” he said.

However, according to Mariana Mortagua, these numbers, presented as a “big victory,” have “a downside, and that downside is closed emergency rooms, classes that students cannot attend because the school does not have enough teachers.” The downside is the delays in justice, all the investments that were not made, and the lack of those investments is very costly for the country.”

“When we talk about the right bills, we also have to think that the right bills are also for health care, housing, and now when we talk about the right bills, everyone should contribute and we hope that EDP will pay taxes for the business millionaire from the dams he built and which have not yet contributed to this surplus,” he said.
