BE coordinator Mariana Mortagua set this Saturday her first election goal to “keep the right in the minority” in parliament, committing herself to “opening up avenues of dialogue” and “facilitating the unification of all the necessary forces” for change. in the country.
“This is not a New Year’s message, this is a message about the first 70 days of the New Year until the elections. These are 70 days during which each person must decide where Portugal will go,” Mariana Mortagua said in a video that Luza’s agency had access to.
According to the leader of the bloc, 70 days before the early legislative elections on March 10, the party will show “that the left knows what they want,” as well as what is unacceptable, for example, “corruption and deals with what belongs to everyone” and also what “the vast majority have done with health, housing, education.”
“In these 70 days we will ensure that what has never been done will be done: raise wages, create jobs for the climate, save the NHS, take care of public schools, lower house prices. This is the goal of the Bloc de Esquerda. fight for the good of life, guaranteeing the most necessary things,” he emphasized.
BE, according to Mariana Mortagua, “will contribute to the unification of all the forces necessary for this turning point that the country must go through.”
“For my part, I will use this time to open paths to dialogue, clarity and mobilization. This is the confidence that will unite the votes for victory,” he promised.
The first goal of the BU in these elections is “for the right to remain in the minority.”
“This depends not only on the Bloc, this is true, but we will do our job, and every deputy, every deputy elected by the Left Bloc will be taken into account in this,” he emphasized.
According to the BE coordinator, there is “much at stake” in the next elections because “the right is planning to return to 2015,” “the last year of Pedro Passos Coelho’s tenure as prime minister.”
“Montenegro was his voice in parliament, Ventura was his student, the SDS existed and many of the current liberals were still there. They were all together and now they want to join the government again after the elections,” he warned.
The problem with the right, according to Mortagua, “is that most people have not forgotten or forgiven the austerity policies, the impoverishment, the crackdown on pensions, the emigration orders.”
“And we also do not forget those rulers who soon after sat down at the table of the companies to which they sold energy or airports. We do not forget them, and that is why I know that the wishes of the right for 2024 will not come true,” he said.
The BE leader addressed the disillusioned people, the “angry majority who are still undecided.”
“I am talking to these people who also know from experience that the law does not deserve the presumption of innocence. I am talking to people who demand respect, attention to those below, to those who work, to those who pay taxes. I assure you, they are counting on the Left Bloc,” he promised.
