Antonio Costa says the next government must carry out its mandate to the end

Outgoing Prime Minister Antonio Costa defended “legislative stability” on Tuesday, saying the next government must carry out its mandate to the end.

“I think the legislature should comply. I think that for Portugal, stability in its legislature was an important competitive advantage,” said António Costa.

The remaining Prime Minister spoke to reporters at the end of the morning session of the 2nd annual meeting of the mobilization programs, which takes place at the Europark in Santa Maria da Feira, Aveiro district.

Costa expressed hope that the instability in the legislature, which is now ending, will not become the new standard and the country will once again have “stability in the legislature.”

The chief executive refused to comment on the PS’s position on the new state budget, saying that this decision depended on the current Socialist leader Pedro Nuno Santos.

“There is nothing worse than someone who is no longer behind the wheel and then has an opinion about who is now in charge of driving,” said António Costa, adding that he had the great honor of leading PS for nine years, but This stage of your life is “over.”

Regarding Chega’s result in the legislative elections, Costa said that it is necessary to reflect and understand the reasons for this behavior of voters.

“I think few people would say that there would have been such results, and it is necessary to understand what are the underlying reasons that make a million people understand that they should use their voice in this policy proposal,” he said, taking responsibility for the election results .

Antonio Costa also said: “I am sure that just because there have been changes does not mean that the PRR will suffer any shock.”
