Chega says he will vote against PCP’s motion to dismiss

Chega will vote against the proposal to reject the government program presented by the PKP and welcomes “convergence” on some issues such as the fight against corruption or taxation, although he also considers it “very vague and unambitious.”

“Chega will vote against the PKP motion to reject,” he said.

Speaking to journalists this Wednesday at the Assembly of the Republic, André Ventura said that “it is important that the government is able to fulfill the promises it has made and has the time to be able to give them the opportunity to work on them in the coming months, not in a year.” or so. “two”.

“At the same time, it is important that whoever makes motions to reject understands that there is no other alternative in this parliamentary system. To approve a motion to reject without presenting an alternative is the same as declaring that the country will be ungovernable within six or seven months.” This is pure irresponsibility,” he explained.

President Chegi noted that “the PCP does not have the opportunity to have an alternative either with the PS, or with Livre, or with any other party.”

Andre Ventura also believed that the government program was “very vague and unambitious, especially considering the commitments and promises that have been made to the right, both the PSD and Chega, in terms of achieving goals and objectives.”

Despite this, the leader of the Chega party, which is not part of the executive branch, said there were “points of positive rapprochement and contact,” especially at the level of taxation and in the fight against corruption.

“In financial matters, the government represents elements with which we identify, in terms of the IRS and IRC, IMT and in relation to the acquisition of young homes. There are elements here that can be agreed upon and worked on, and we see good prospects for this. “, he decreed.

Andre Ventura also stated that the document “is in line with what Chega has been talking about for a long time regarding corruption, namely the idea of ​​​​expanded confiscation, which is now directly included in the program” as well as “increasing fines.”

“There is an approach to Chegi’s ideas, there is material that we can work on and continue,” he emphasized.

The Government’s Democratic Alliance (AD) program was approved today by the Council of Ministers ahead of two days of debate in Parliament on Thursday and Friday.

Presidential Minister António Leitan Amaro said the document was based on the AD’s electoral program but included “more than 60 measures from the electoral programs of other parties represented in parliament.”
