The President of the CDS-PP said this Sunday that the Socialists will enter “a very accelerated process of amnesia” if they continue to criticize the government for “cutting the IRS much more than the PS wanted.”
“If you continue to criticize our government for starting to cut the IRS far beyond what PS wanted, I just want to say two things: firstly, we are right, and secondly, as usual, PS has gone into a very accelerated flash of amnesia,” he said.
Nuno Melo expressed this criticism in the closing speech of the 31st Congress of the CDS-PP, which took place in Viseu and ended this Sunday with the elections of the new bodies.
“The PS, which for eight years has broken all records of tax burden, increased the IRS, IRC, IUC and ISP, is attacking the AD government because in the first 15 days it reduced labor taxes much more than the PS itself defended,” lamented Minister of National Defense, saying that “it is difficult to find an adjective that would qualify something like this.”
The Minister of National Defense also noted in his speech that “if in 2011 another AD government inherited a country in economic and financial crisis, then in 2024 the crisis bequeathed by the left is fundamentally social in nature,” noting that “one thing is as good as another “
“I consider it progress that the PS has finally accepted the principle that debts must be paid and accounts must be balanced. I would even say welcome to clarity,” he emphasized.
Nuno Melo said that “this evolution should not be confused with the reality of accounts sold as reliable, but sometimes disguised using the effect of inflation, with the sacrifice of people and maximum taxes, which has as its counterpart the paradox of public services.” least”.
“Whereas before the PS and the Left bequeathed the Troika, this time they have brought the collapse of the NHS, instability of public schools, an exit door for young people, waste in agriculture, anarchy in housing, difficulties for companies and problems. in the social sector,” he criticized, ensuring the AD would know how to be “fit for the task” before it.
The CDS-PP chairman said it was necessary to “clearly distinguish the normal from the exotic” and bring “political debate to a minimum of rationality”, and lamented that “the first criticism of the government, a few days after taking office, came because of the logo.” , accepted by the manager for communication.
The SDS-NP leader defended the changes implemented by the government, which returned to the old image, and stated that “aesthetics were never at stake, the essence was at stake.”
“When the PS decided to erase the armillary sphere, it did not stylize the logo, but erased the only eternal element of all national flags – the identity of the people, which cannot be found in 2024, because it can only be measured in nine centuries of history. It is not a matter of aesthetics, but in identity,” he argued.
Nuno Melo believed that “by restoring the armillary sphere, the government only saved the identity of Portugal, which cannot be confused with the identity of any other country or with the colors of any other country”, and noted that “the Portuguese flag already had many colors, but the armillary sphere was in all “
