Former BE coordinator Francisco Luza argues that “after such a year, such a government would not rule until 2026”, given that there were people “deceived” by the promise of absolute majority stability.
In an interview with Lusa about two months before the XIII BE National Convention, the founder of the blockasta is very critical of this first year of absolute majority in the PS government and says that he is not sure that this legislature will come to an end. .
Luz’s analysis is based on a combination of two effects, the first being “the government’s internal tensions with an absolute majority that is more divided than when it had a relative majority” and “social pressures that have grown”. and who focused on the issues that people care about the most.”
“After such a year, such a government will not rule until 2026,” he foresees.
According to the former leader of the BE, “if the government does not come to an end, then it is because of its own work and merits, that is, because it splits, because it surrenders, because it falls apart.”
“Antonio Costa can say that the government is not tired, it should have done it in the line of duty, but it is enough to look at most ministers and most of their statements and understand that they are screens in the room, that they are answers from random circumstances, without a strategy , without the policy that when they have the will – and some ministers have the will – they don’t have the resources because there is micromanagement from the Ministry of Finance,” he criticizes. .
According to Luz, “there were people who were deceived” in the last legislative elections, because “the absolute majority promised them stability, which would be an alternative to the right.”
“The absolute majority was at the same time completely unstable, as it should have been, because absolute power corrodes arrogance, as has been consistently demonstrated in the choice of a part of the government,” he regrets, pointing out as a consequence this absolute majority has the ability to “reverse social policy that was considered necessary and was still missing.
In addition to the degradation of wages, the expression “the most painful of this pride to scold” is, according to the blogger, the issue of raising pensions that do not respond to inflation. In illustrating situations of this sort, Lusa believed that “attempts to generate sympathy through illusions or falsifications have become a political industry.”
“I think from this point of view, the blindness of absolute majority power and the audacity of political demagogy only get worse,” he says.
For the former blockocist leader, “the joy that António Costa felt from the absolute majority was the belief that he could do whatever he wanted”, i.e. “not to negotiate or submit to the scrutiny of public opinion and rapprochement with dissenting parties for resolving issues that have become decisive.
In Lucas’s view, “the state is failing in the marketplace and abandoning the public good” while “the government is abandoning strategies that can satisfy the people under the idea that if Portugal is a big business of many enterprises, in Noah’s Ark some animals will fit.
“And that’s why the animals that fit in Noah’s ark are saved, and that’s how the economy works well under this policy,” he ironically, believing that this is a “catastrophe” because there can be no democracy without “the right to freedom.” a good life”.
The list of criticisms from the founder of BE also touches on the government’s decision to privatize TAP, which even compared the airline to “sixteenth century caravels for economic and imperial expansion” as a “strategy and will” that could never have happened if the government had not had absolute majority, “unless, of course, it agrees with the right.”
“How can there be a democracy where people are not sure that what they pay in taxes corresponds to the care they receive for others and for themselves, where you can live a peaceful life, where you can have guaranteed jobs, health, conditions life. Perhaps this is where the biggest cultural debate of the 21st century takes place, this is where the biggest confrontation between left and right of the 21st century takes place,” he foresees.
