Bloco de Esquerda (BE) considered this Wednesday that the preliminary report of the TAP commission of inquiry is “not much different” from what would have been written by the prime minister or the minister of infrastructure, pointing to an incomprehensible omission.
“In our opinion, the report [preliminar da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito à Tutela Política da Gestão da TAP] it is not much different from what he would have written if it had been written by Joao Galamba or the prime minister, as he removes from the table the relevant part of the events that took place in the parliamentary commission of inquiry. “, – defended the parliamentary leader of the BS.
Pedro Filipe Soares said that BE will submit proposals to change the report, stressing that each opinion will be voted on separately.
“The report comes up with conclusion after conclusion, and therefore some of them will even be unanimous, and there are those that, if they are not in the report, deserve a negative assessment,” he said, speaking to journalists in parliament after the presentation. preliminary report of the commission. Request to the TAR deputy speaker, socialist Ana Paula Bernardo.
If these changes are not included in the final version of the report, BE undertook to draw up an “explanation of reasons for voting, in which this will be expressed” for subsequent submission to the prosecutor’s office.
The blogger said that this was an “omission” as “the country has witnessed the work of the commission of inquiry, which is not in the report,” which he called incomprehensible.
“And why aren’t they involved in this? Why weren’t they part of the commission of inquiry’s assumptions? privatization that the government wants to promote, they can appreciate the political decision makers, most notably João Galamba. So why is this not in the report?” he asked.
According to Pedro Filipe Soares, what is at stake is “a political approach in an attempt to remove the pressure created by the prime minister himself.”
“Antonio Costa said: I will remove political implications from the report of the commission of inquiry, he said this in response to the actions of Minister Joao Galamba in the first months of this year, and the report does not say anything about the activities of Minister João. Galamba what to do after what the prime minister might say [que] there are no political consequences to draw, but to arrange a scene incomprehensible to the country for those who were present at the commission, and to keep in force the mandate of the minister, understandable to everyone, with a minimum of common sense, should not be ”, considered.
The 180-page preliminary report does not analyze the incidents that took place on the premises of the Ministry of Infrastructure with Frederico Pinheiro, nor the government’s use of information services to recover a computer seized by former Deputy Minister Joao Galamba. .
According to the deputy rapporteur, “there was an attempt to avoid exposure and even some contamination of the report by a set of actions, situations and discussions that were drawn into the PTP investigative commission”, but which “in fact do not constitute its subject matter and in some cases are issues that will require analysis and action elsewhere than this commission.”
Until July 10, the parties may submit proposals for changing this preliminary version. Discussion and voting on the report in the parliamentary commission of inquiry is scheduled for July 13, and its consideration at the plenary session – for July 19.
