The PCP did not comment on possible amendments to the budget of the government led by Luis Montenegro, the prime minister appointed this Thursday, but asked that the budget surplus be used to solve problems.
“There is a budget surplus. There are resources, but they are poorly distributed,” said Paula Santos, leader of the Communist parliamentary faction.
After the results of the legislative elections were determined, the “negative developments of which” worried the PCP, Paula Santos assured: “The Portuguese can count on the firm intervention of the PCP in the fight against right-wing politics.”
The policy is based on “attacking workers” and “supporting the interests of economic groups,” he said.
With the announced proposal to reject the government program, the Communists intend to “give a signal about this from the first minute.”
