This Wednesday, President Chegi called on the PSD to downgrade the proposals of the government and his party to the IRS to reach an agreement that provides for large tax breaks at the lowest levels.
Speaking to reporters in parliament, Andre Ventura said he had contacted PSD parliamentary leader Hugo Soares on Tuesday to tell him that Chega was not satisfied with the government’s proposal “because it benefits those who earn more, not those who earn less,” but does not want to create “a problem for management on such a sensitive issue.”
“We suggested that the SDP send at least two proposals to the committee without voting. This was the suggestion I made because we would not waste time as urgency could be given to the ad hoc process. “, He said.
Andre Ventura emphasized that Chega can submit proposals for a specialty only if there are government guarantees that the commission will work “at two or three levels, which are at the initial base of the pyramid, which allows whoever earns 1000, 1500 or 2000 euros and gets more than he really is.”
The Chegi leader said that so far he has not received any response from the PSD, despite the statement that they are “negotiating”, and added that he understands that Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento must “do the calculations and re-equate that , which will mean a change in levels.”
Asked whether the PS proposal would be excluded in this case, Andre Ventura replied that it was “relatively indifferent, that there must be a guarantee that the government will not go for specialization just to save time.”
“To go to specialty, there has to be a prior agreement that we will work at these lower levels to ensure that people pay less in taxes, it’s not about specialty to force voting,” he said.
If the government “remains inflexible,” Andre Ventura advised it to do “two things: either reach an understanding with the PS, or withdraw the proposal, because otherwise it could very easily not pass through parliament.”
The Chegi leader claimed that he made this proposal to the SDP so that “there would be no embarrassment for the government today,” and also so that his party “would not be forced to vote on a proposal that, in theory, it would not really like to introduce.” , which is PS.”
“I urge the SDP to say whether it agrees to move to a specialty to change levels, rather than force a vote on the specialty. Now the government must say whether it will agree to this or not,” he said.
On Tuesday, Andre Ventura admitted he voted against the government’s proposal to cut IRS rate caps and make PS viable, saying it was closer to his proposal.
At a press conference in the Assembly of the Republic, Andre Ventura said that he had not received “neither from the government nor from the PSD parliamentary bench any negotiations, proposals, counter-proposals or discoveries regarding changes in tax legislation.” and accused the executive and the Social Democrats of showing arrogance, warning that “this will not lead to good results in the future.”
