Socialist leader Pedro Nuno Santos warned on Tuesday that the PS would not be a “SPC for government” and that it was up to the executive to find “solutions that guarantee the sustainability of governance.”
At the end of the meeting at the PS headquarters with the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič, Pedro Nuno Santos was asked about the statements of Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, who said that he was not at all worried about the duration of the legislature, which was “predetermined”.
“The Prime Minister does not have an absolute majority in the parliament. The Portuguese did not want to give it to him, the Portuguese chose the parliament that we have. This implies a lot of humility on the part of the Prime Minister and on the part of the government. You do not expect the PS to become the SRS for the government, because this is not the role of the PS,” he warned.
According to the Secretary General of the PS, the search for this stability “is the task of the Prime Minister” and “it is not worth constantly shifting it onto others.”
“We always ask the PS, and we should ask the government. What the government can and wants to do to ensure its sustainability. Unless it wants elections,” he said.
Pedro Nuno Santos asked us to leave behind the “backstage games” and “political tactics” so that we can look “at the concrete”.
“I said that it is not because of the PS that there will be political instability in Portugal, now the government and the prime minister must step forward and stop just talking and talking and start doing,” he repeated, returning to the idea he defended in the victory speech of the last Europeans.
