The first topic that was raised during the debate was the elections in the Azores. The PS leader says he has spoken with Vasco Cordeiro and will wait for the party meeting on Thursday to talk about the future. “This decision will have my full support,” he says. Rui Rocha says that
“There is no personal defeat” in this Sunday’s elections because the Liberal Initiative “continues to be present in the Azores Assembly.”Regarding the IL proposals, Pedro Nuno Santos states that tax cuts in Portugal “They will not transform the economy, but will instead create a hole in government accounts that will be difficult to compensate.” Rui Rocha responds that thanks to IL measures, there will be more young workers in the country and liquid money “in people’s pockets.” For companies, it is necessary to “abolish or reduce fees and taxes,” says the IL leader.
Speaking about health, Pedro Nuno Santos states that social networks have problems, but the solution is “not to give up on them.” “After all these years we have an NHS that has problems but produces more. But we have a society that is aging and needs it more,” he explains.
“Today we have a service to access a waiting list, not a social network,” responds Rui Rocha, who explains that IL’s proposal is to guarantee immediate access to a family doctor for Portuguese people over 65, as well as pregnant women and children over 65 years of age. up to 9 years old. “If SNS has the capabilities, great. If not, hire private companies,” he says.
Pedro Nuno Santos accuses IL of not having the money to pay for the promised offers: “There is no magic. We control reality.”
