PS Secretary General Pedro Nuno Santos announced that “if the 2025 state budget is not approved,” the party will be able to approve a correction” to implement the agreements to increase public administration.
At the closing of the Socialist Academy this Saturday, the Socialist declared that he refused to approve the state’s reporting “within these IRS and IRC regimes” proposed by the government. He accused the executive of wanting to “implement two different IRS regimes” through the IRS Jovem. According to Pedro Nuno, “a minority of young people will earn disproportionately more than the majority of young people”, while “large companies” will receive “millions” of euros.
The socialist put pressure on the right side of the hemicycle to make the document viable. “If IL and Chega approve the IRS and IRC, then the state budget must be approved by IL and Chega,” he said.
Pedro Nuno stressed that “this government behaves as if it had an absolute majority” and that “it is impossible to ignore the aggressiveness with which the minority government has attacked the PS”. Citing as an example the commitment to electing Aguiar-Branco as Speaker of Parliament, he stressed that the PS’s position “was a manifestation of openness and willingness to find solutions for the majority”.
In the final stage of the intervention, the General Secretary of the Socialists announced that after the discussion of the State reports, “General States” would be created in the party.
