The IL leader said this Thursday that the measures presented by the prime minister to young people “are a scheme to deceive the people” and that “the most prepared generation ever” will know how to determine who falls victim to this.
At a press conference to launch the Housing Now program in Lisbon, Rui Rocha was asked about the measures António Costa introduced the day before, including that for every year they work in Portugal, the government will refund students a year of pay they paid at the state university of the country in the first years of work.
“I believe that the most prepared generation knows how to clearly identify when they are the victim of a scheme whose sole purpose is to demonstrate the absence of solutions for the life project in the country,” he began with a response.
Whether it’s the tuition fee measure or the changes announced to young taxmen, the IL leader’s analysis always leaves the question: “Do any of us want to live in a country where a life project can be built, or do we want to be the target of a bait with a hook to catch people ?
According to Rui Rocha, “a country that creates wealth for everyone and regardless of the age of the people” is needed, emphasizing that “everything else is a scheme aimed at deceiving people.”
Asked about the tense relationship between the prime minister and the president of the republic, the liberal president replied categorically: “The best service I can do the country is not to comment on public quarrels, which, in my opinion, do a disservice on the part of those who should bear more responsibility for the insurance agencies”.
Regarding the no-confidence vote announced by Chega and his party’s vote, Rui Rocha only said that it depends on the “reasons and goals” expressed in the document, and is waiting to see what “it says”.
Referring to another hot topic and the decision of former TAP CEO Christina Urmier-Widener to file a lawsuit in which she is demanding 5.9 million euros, the Liberal leader said that it would be “predictable that this initiative would appear.” and expected that “the Portuguese State is in danger of losing the case”.
However, Rui Rocha predicts that once this is resolved, political accountability will no longer overtake the political leaders who have decided to fire the former TAP executive president.
At the Socialist Academy in Évora, PS General Secretary and Prime Minister António Costa announced changes to the rules of the Yovema IRS, starting with the fact that in the first year of operation there will be a complete exemption from the IRS, in the second year the beneficiaries of this measure will pay 25% of the IRS. which they will have to pay, “in the third and fourth years they will pay only half”, and in the fifth year “they will pay 75% of the tax they will have to pay”. to pay”.
From January next year, the public transport ticket will be free for all children and young people under the age of 23.
