The President of the Republic confirmed this Friday that he has received a letter sent by the leader of the PSD to the Prime Minister, saying that he is recording “everything that happens in the economic, social and political life of Portugal.”

The President of the Republic emphasized that Luis Montenegro’s letter was “addressed to another body from another sovereign body with the knowledge of the President of the Republic.”

“And I continue to record everything that happens in the economic, social and political life of Portugal in these days, weeks and months, and I will not, as you think, say what I think, day after day, week after week, month after a month. month,” he said.

In these statements to reporters, made while reviewing the preparations for the June 10 military ceremony on Saturday, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa emphasized that the speeches he usually makes on this occasion are “always about the country, not about the country.” day to day events.

“So, don’t expect me to talk about what’s in the papers every day. I’m talking about the country, I’m talking about the Douro and the importance of the country,” he anticipated.

The head of state also indicated that June 10 “is a special day for the country” and emphasized that this year it will be celebrated in a municipality that “is not a big city” or a district center, referring to Peso da Régua.

“There has already been a case [em que se comemorou o 10 de Junho numa cidade] which was not the capital of the district, but the capital of the bishopric, diocese: Lamego. There is neither one nor the other, but 19 inland lands. Therefore, celebrating Portugal Day really goes deep,” he said.

The President of the PSD wrote a letter to the Prime Minister insisting on the resignation of the General Secretary of the Information System of the Portuguese Republic and warning that if this does not happen, the leadership of the “secret” will lose the confidence of the Social Democrats.

“If the resignation does not happen, I want Your Excellency to know that an unprecedented fact will happen in the entire Portuguese democracy: the leadership of the SIRP will no longer enjoy the confidence of the largest opposition party. I hope that SIRP will continue to serve the state, but will only do so with the approval and trust of the government,” writes Luis Montenegro in a letter that Lusa had access to.

In a letter dated Thursday, the content of which was brought to the attention of the President of the Republic, Montenegro expects the Social Democrats to “propose over time to change the system of parliamentary oversight” of news services “to make it more transparent and efficient.”

The social democratic leader insists on the “need to replace the Secretary General of the SIRP”, Graça Ambassador Mira Gomes, arguing that “despite the abuses by the government demanding in practice the intervention of the SIRP” in the restoration of the computer seized from the Ministry of Infrastructures on the night of April 26 , “under no circumstances should this service have honored such a request.”

“SIRP/SIS intervention does not take place, it does not make sense, it has no legal basis,” and for this reason, “services should have refrained from interfering,” he argues.

However, “by doing the opposite, the necessary consequences cannot but come,” and therefore the chairman of the SDP insists on the resignation of “the person most responsible for information services: the general secretary of the SIRP.”
