The Prime Minister said this Thursday that “the whole country supports” the objective of approving the state budget for 2025, without specifying what the government will do with the diploma that reduces the IRS, or whether anything has already been done to this end. President of the Republic.
Today in Paris, Marcelo Rebelo de Souza said that there are diplomas related to the IRS “that need to be regulated for application this year” and expressed the opinion that after the publication of the decrees, the government will be able to consider this issue of regulation.
At the end of a three-day official visit to Angola, journalists asked Luis Montenegro if he had given any guarantees to the President of the Republic that the executive power would apply the IRS cuts in the income tax tables this year.
“I have postponed the answer to this question until a later opportunity on the territory of the country (…) I have spoken every day with the President of the Republic about all the pressing issues, as well as about the development of this visit,” he said.
The Prime Minister stressed that the head of state “is a person and a sovereign body” to whom the government provided “all the explanations, all the information in the framework of cooperation, which was also absolutely exemplary, sharing all the information that is relevant to the role and mission of each person.”
“We discuss all issues, don’t forget that we meet weekly,” he said, noting that in the absence of such a meeting, as happened this week, there are telephone contacts.
Asked whether the President of the Republic had told him in these conversations that the publication of the diplomas against the vote of the parties supporting the government (PSD/SDS-PP) was intended to facilitate negotiations between the parties on the next budget, he preferred to answer during his visit to Angola.
“I believe that we are both, both personally and institutionally, very united in our efforts to deepen cooperation between Portugal and Angola,” he said.
Asked if they were united in the need to approve the budget, he replied: “The whole country is in solidarity with this goal.”
Faced with insistence from journalists that he supports the Head of State in the efforts for cooperation between the PS and PSD, which the President of the Republic had asked for, he once again insisted that “the cooperation that today wanted to praise is the cooperation between the governments of Portugal and Angola.”
