Chegi President Andre Ventura said this Friday that he would submit a vote of no confidence in the government if Luis Montenegro offered some kind of compensation to the former colonies.
This position was defended by Andre Ventura in Parliament after the President of the Republic said at a dinner with foreign correspondents in Portugal on Tuesday that Portugal must “take full responsibility” for what it did during the colonial period and “bear the costs” . “.
“I don’t know whether the president’s statements were unfortunate or simply politically unsound statements. But there is one thing that I want to make clear in the country: on the day that the Portuguese government pays any compensation or compensation whatsoever, In a former colony that is a cruel disgrace to our History, one thing can be sure: a vote of no confidence in the government will enter into this day,” he said.
According to the leader of Chegi, such a possibility “grossly violates the obligations of the government and the Party of Regions towards their homeland.”
At the ceremonial meeting of the fiftieth anniversary of April 25, 1974, in the Assembly of the Republic, the head of state heard criticism, especially from Chegi, but also from the Liberal Initiative and the SDS-PP for defending this possibility.
A year ago, at the welcoming meeting of Brazilian President Lula da Silva, which preceded the ceremonial meeting dedicated to the 49th anniversary of April 25 in the Assembly of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said that Portugal owed an apology, but above all, he had to take full responsibility for exploitation and slavery during the colonial period.
