Chega’s request to prepare a new opinion on the situation of PS MP Jamila Madeira was denied this Tuesday by the Commission on Transparency and the Statute of Deputies.
The discussion and voting took place behind closed doors, and at the end it was announced by the chairman of the committee, Socialist MP Alexandra Leitao, that Chega’s request had been rejected: PS voted against, PSD abstained and votes for parties led by André Ventura.
Last week, having previously agreed not to vote on the original opinion, Chega announced that she would ask the Commission on Transparency and the Statute of Deputies for a new assessment of the situation of Jamila Madeira, who has accumulated functions in parliament and in the REN. .
In a request that has now been rejected, Chega asked the commission to decide “whether or not MP Jamila Madeira is compatible with the position of deputy with the professional activity of a part-time consultant at REN Serviços. “.
In statements to cmChega deputy Rui Paulo Sousa believed that “theoretically, the commission operates only during the period when people actually do something illegal or wrong”, which means that “from the moment when a person ceases to perform this function or ceases to have this job, then the commission does nothing in that sense, or she should not pass any judgment.”
“We don’t think it’s right, because the commission has to speak out,” explains Rui Paulo Sousa, adding that during the period when Jamila Madeira was accumulating functions in Parliament and in REN, “the situation has not disappeared just because it has not been longer “. In the understanding of Chega, according to the parliamentarian, this would be “a way for her to clarify everything.”
“We all sinned that we did not analyze the situation as a whole,” says the deputy from Chega, but “this was not an understanding of the PS.”
Also, “the PSD considered that this was not within the competence of the commission, and as a result, the PSD abstained,” he concluded.
