Chega proposed this Thursday to introduce the “English model” of bribes in Portugal and accused the Prime Minister of “playing with the youth” with the announcement of “absolutely palliative” measures.
The position of this party regarding the measures aimed at the youth, voiced by António Costa on Wednesday, was stated by MP Rita Matias in a statement to journalists in the Assembly of the Republic.
One of the measures announced on Wednesday evening at the Socialist Academy in Évora by the Prime Minister and General Secretary of the PS was the return to young graduates for every year of work in Portugal of the annual amount of bribes paid publicly. higher education in the country.
According to Rita Matias, Chega argues that “it should be the other way around: young people should not pay tuition while they are in higher education”, but pay them later when they are working “because it will bring liquidity and bring value, which they need in their first years of study while they are pursuing higher education.”
“We are going to propose that, like the English model, they start paying tuition fees after a few years of philanthropic careers and above-average earnings. [salarial] and this is an average of 900 euros for young people today,” deputy Chega said.
On the other hand, Chega “will again support the proposal to share the down payment for the house” because he understands that “young people want to be owners” and that this measure will contribute to “their settlement in Portugal.”
Referring to the no-confidence vote announced by Chegoy at the beginning of the new legislative session, Rita Mathias believes that the government “deserves blame” for the package of measures announced on Wednesday for young people.
The MP described these measures as “absolutely palliative” in view of the problems of job insecurity and difficulties in accessing housing faced by young people, as well as “a rental market that absolutely does not correspond to the reality of the wages of Portuguese youth”, and promised that Chega ” will present a program that will then respond to these calls.”
On Wednesday evening, António Costa announced that young people will be completely exempt from the IRS in their first year of employment, paying only 25% of what they have to pay in their second year, half in their third and fourth, and 75% in their fifth year. year and, among other measures, that there will be free passes for persons under 23 years of age.
