The plenum of the Assembly of the Republic on Tuesday finally rejected the PSD bill, which called for a referendum on the decriminalization of euthanasia, after the President of Parliament rejected the diploma for being unconstitutional.
The PSD appealed against Augusto Santos Silva’s decision, and an opinion was drawn up, authored by Socialist MP Isabel Moreira, which also concluded that the initiative was unconstitutional. The opinion, approved by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Rights, Freedoms and Guarantees, also received the green light from the 187 deputies present at the plenary session, with votes in favor of PS, IL and Livre and against PSD, PCP, BE and PAN. Quite abstained.
In June, parliament had already voted down a draft resolution by André Ventura’s party calling for a referendum on the same topic.
