Enough finds it embarrassing that the SDP does not understand that a parliamentary investigation is needed

Chega President Andre Ventura said this Wednesday that it was shameful that the SDP had not yet realized that without a parliamentary commission of inquiry, nothing would be known about the possible intervention of the prime minister in the banking system.

“Given the responses we have received over the past two months, it is embarrassing that the largest opposition party has not yet realized that either we are moving to a parliamentary investigation, or we will never know anything about the prime minister’s active intervention in the banking system to protect daughter of the president, who is currently under investigation by the authorities and has an international arrest warrant,” Andre Ventura criticized in statements to journalists in parliament.

President Chega spoke shortly after the leader of the PSD parliament acknowledged this Wednesday that the party could give a “second chance” and repeat questions to the prime minister or ask new questions about possible interference with the Bank of Portugal before considering a parliamentary inquiry. .

“We hope that this lack of reaction is what is needed so that we can create a parliamentary commission of inquiry, and not walk around here all the time, postponing, postponing, postponing,” President Chegi urged, considering that this is “the only the existing “parliamentary tool” to achieve these responses.

After listening to the words of Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, Andre Ventura exclaimed: “I think it’s time to act, not the time to continue to pretend that we are acting.”

“As Chega said from the start, we won’t have any answers. The leader of the SDP parliament confirmed that there were no answers, that the answers were unsatisfactory, and it is surprising how the SDP thought it was the other way around,” he said. said.

Asked if he ruled out, as he has acknowledged in the past, the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry, the SDP parliamentary leader replied that “commissions of inquiry are never a threat.”

“We do not rule out any parliamentary mechanism, we do not rule out a commission of inquiry. Most likely, at this stage, the prime minister has room for a second opportunity to explain the Portuguese language, given that in this first one he clarified little or nothing, ”he said.

António Costa sent a response to questions posed to him by the PSD on November 23 last year to Parliament after former Banco de Portugal Governor Carlos Costa accused him of pressure and “political interference” in the removal of businesswoman Isabel dos Santos. from BIC.
