Montenegro says BE is responsible for ‘worst health outcomes’

According to Mariana Mortagua, BE “remains the right-wing opposition and the fourth force in the Azores”, she states that they do not stop fighting and that they have “the responsibility to form a right-wing opposition government”, because this “increases poverty in the Azores” .

As for Montenegro, Mariana Mortagua is “out of step with reality” as the Azores “is now going through a cycle of significant growth, it has well-functioning public services, it is recovering. It also has the humanity, intimacy and mobility between islands that has brought families and people together.”

The left bloc calls for more government intervention and says the party is “looking for solutions, unlike the AD, which seeks to make problems worse.”

Leaders of the two parties trade accusations against each other over SNS. Luis Montenegro says he wants to end SNS waiting lists and introduce vouchers for operations and even hire doctors. Mariana Mortagua says that “we have the most expensive healthcare in Europe, and the PSD program makes healthcare even more expensive.”

“There are a lot of structural problems to be solved in the NHS and Luis Montenegro has no idea how to solve the problems of the NHS,” adds the bloc leader.

“Mariana Mortagua is responsible for ‘the worst health outcomes,'” Montenegro says, adding that Apparently, this is “Pedro Nuno Santos’ candidate for the post of Minister of Health”, which, according to the PSD leader, will be impossible since the PS secretary general will not receive votes.

“The PSD wants to hand over health care to those who want to defraud health care,” Mortagua said.

On housing, the Left Bloc leader advocates capping house rents and reducing interest rates on home loans, and criticizes the “cruelty” of rising house prices, which she says has “all the hallmarks of an SDP”.

Luis Montenegro, however, states that we must “act according to the proposal, making life easier for promoters and investors, reducing bureaucracy and tax penalties,” and “ensuring conditions of access,” especially for young people.

For the PSD, “the state serves only to guarantee profits to the private sector and speculation,” but Mariana Mortagua says that for AD, “the state serves only to guarantee profits to the private sector and speculation.”

“There is nothing more extremist and radical than paying €1,500 rent for a T1 ticket in Lisbon,” says Mariana Mortagua, arguing that “this is impossible for any young person,” but Montenegro responds that it has “no proposals to reduce prices.” I have a dream of lowering prices.”

“I defend salary increases and no deception. The salary does not pay for the house. AD has no proposal to pay for houses or increase wages.” shoots Mortagua.

“High taxes limit the ability to create wealth and pay higher wages, we must give the middle class a break,” with IRS cuts with a maximum rate of 15% for young people under 35 years old,” but the bloc leader explains that “ young people earn less than 1,000 euros and pay less than 15%,” so the measures “are a sham.”
