The Secretary General of the Socialist Party, Pedro Nuno Santos, said this Thursday, after his party’s proposal to abolish tolls on the former SCUTs was approved, that “the PS is in Parliament not only to observe, but also to approve the measures.”
“Today marks the 30th day of government and the truth is that we have removed a logo change, an IRS proposal that turned out to be false, instability in some government positions and a Durao-like Treasury Secretary dramatization. Barroso’s subtle speech,” says the socialist.
He also states that the government “does not keep its promises” and does not go “beyond the electoral program.” He adds that the trust he is losing is “not new” as it already began during the controversy over the IRS proposal.
He explains that it is unacceptable that “what is the natural work of parliament should be called a blockade.” “We already had this proposal in our election program, we are simply fulfilling our mandate.”
Pedro Nuno Santos also says the party “has not reached an understanding with Chega.” “We simply present our proposals and the party that wants to approve them can do so,” he says.
“We take every opportunity to present what we believe in because the other side agrees with it,” he adds.
