Chega will demand a parliamentary review of the government’s immigration credentials so a “constructive debate” can take place and suggested police were subject to “political pressure” over airport visa data.
Speaking to journalists before a rally in Aveiro, on the ninth day of campaigning for the European elections on Sunday, President Chegi indicated that the party “intends to hand over these diplomas to the Assembly of the Republic for a more in-depth study of the situation.” discussion on this topic.”
Andre Ventura argued that “the question of immigration should not be discussed in this way, should not be rushed, and should not be haphazardly defined in decree-law.”
“Since we understand that this project is far from what it should be, and without harming some specific aspects, and despite the promulgation of the decree of the President of the Republic, we understand that we must submit it for discussion in parliament,” said He.
Chegi’s leader called on the remaining parties to hold a “constructive debate on immigration” so that parliament can “quickly get a package, this one, seriously, and not this one, which is a puppet, a fiction, to present to his country.”
“This afternoon I heard Pedro Nuno Santos say that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was unstable and unstable, but he didn’t say anything else, he didn’t say what he was going to do, he didn’t tell us what measures he was taking. I’m going to take it,” he criticized.
Ventura once again criticized the measures announced by the government on Monday, saying it was not an “immigration control program” and said he hoped “the government will make significant changes to this package.”
“The head of the AD list himself admitted that this is not a program to restrict immigration,” he said, noting that the prime minister was committed to this measure.
Along with Andre Ventura, list leader Chegi said he thinks “exactly the same” as the party leader.
“You don’t expect me to disagree in the slightest with what our president said. I don’t disagree with a single line,” he said.
Also, in a conversation with reporters, the former ambassador noted that “all his life” he has been issuing “Schengen visas, that the preparatory process is underway regarding the issuance of these visas themselves” and that “suddenly doors open” and the police are issuing “exceptional visas.” at the airport, namely visas with limited territorial validity (LTVL).
António Tangier Correa said the government “is not inventing anything” and “what has been done is simply in accordance with the law.”
“It is very important that to obtain a work visa you need an employment contract. It already exists, has always existed, until the moment it ended and visas began to be issued at the airport,” he noted.
Chegi’s first candidate for the European Parliament said that “there are thousands” of those who enter Portugal on these visas.
“Just look at how many people are on the street, how many people are illegal,” he said.
Regarding the published data on the number of visas issued, Tangier Correa stated that “PSP is not lying, PSP is probably under political pressure saying things it shouldn’t.”
This alleged pressure, he said, comes from the executive branch, “basically from a government that has ceased to exist.”
“It’s just that Montenegro and this government don’t know how to solve this problem, they are afraid. Since this is a government of the central bloc, Luis Montenegro, since he does not want Chegi’s support from the very beginning, will seek support from the PS on a number of issues,” he criticized.
