The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, spoke to reporters on Tuesday and answered questions related to the law on euthanasia, as well as the controversy surrounding the TAP award to CEO Christine Urmier-Widener.
Marcelo said that “the bonus was the result of an agreement signed between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Finance.”
“It is very important for the Portuguese that TAP gives back so that it starts making money and not losing it,” the head of state said, recalling that “when the Portuguese chose an absolute majority, they did not choose it by chance. “.
Regarding the fact that the Constitutional Court rejected the euthanasia law for the third time, deeming it “unconstitutional”, Marcelo believes that “there has been a very rich institutional dialogue over the past five years”, but that “when the diploma proceeds to the Assembly, which sovereignly decides “.
“If the Constitutional Court understands that certain grounds presented by the President are inappropriate, the President agrees. But in this case, he was right,” said Marcelo, adding, however, that “we must respect the judges of Parliament.” .
