Chega today called on the President of the Republic to give parliament an explanation on the case of the twins and “not resort” to the legal regime of parliamentary investigations, and also considered that “the reluctance to hear this is a sign of weakness.”
“The President of the Republic in fact has his own regime, he has a regime of privileges that makes sense in the case of the functions that he performs, but my hope, despite the fact that the interpretation of the legal regime of the commissions of inquiry is not very clear,” is that that, Mr. President of the Republic, do not seek refuge in the regime and testify about what is important to know,” President Chegi challenged.
The party leader wants Marcelo Rebelo de Souza to clarify “when he learned about this case of the twins, whether his son told him about it or not and what actions he asked him to take, who contacted the Ministry of Health to organize a consultation.” and who allowed the whole situation to go through Infarmed and citizenship registration before others.”
Andre Ventura spoke to journalists before the rally in Beja, which did not include the head of the list, António Tangier Correa. The Chegi leader called the absence an “unforeseen event” and declined to speak further on the matter.
President Chegi also noted that only his party, IL and BE proposed to summon Marcelo to the commission of inquiry, considering that “the potential participation of the President of the Republic in not wanting to hear him is only a sign of the weakness that the PS and the PSD have or they are afraid of the President of the Republic.”
“This shows how the parties of the system are tied to the system and are unable to break out of it,” he said, ensuring that Chega “is not afraid of any individual or any protagonist.”
Andre Ventura also stated that “in a country that has no fear, has no sacred cows and is not afraid to fight all types of crimes of interference, abuse and corruption, be it the President of the Republic or the lowest official in a hospital, everyone must answer to justice” .
President Chegi said he would “quickly force” former Secretary of State Antonio Lacerda Sales to be heard “so that the truth can be known and we do not fabricate the truth that the secretary alone decided to make the appointment.”
Regarding former Health Minister Marta Temido, whose hearing Chega and a number of other parties have asked for, Ventura noted that the Socialist is also leading the PS list in the European elections and said he wants to “prevent this commission of inquiry from being political because it affects a very important point, namely that the Portuguese, who pay for the national health system, are being robbed in order to divert resources to other places or to other people or other countries.”
“We wanted to prevent this from turning into a political competition, this is necessary to establish the truth. Whether it is the President of the Republic Lacerda Sales, the son of the President of the Republic, the board of directors of the hospital at the time or The doctors involved have a duty to the country that belongs to them and it pays them the salaries and conditions necessary to carry out their duties,” he said.
And he guaranteed that Chega would take “this work very seriously until the whole truth is known, no matter who it offends.”
