Andre Ventura told Marcelo Rebelo de Souza that the head of state prefers not to allow Chega into the new government. “The President completely denied it. This information was important for us,” President Chegui emphasized this Monday in statements made after a meeting with Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the Palacio de Belém. The president’s words were: “I wouldn’t make any sense. These are the people who choose.”
Regarding governability conditions, Andre Ventura informed Marcelo Rebelo de Souza that there was no agreement with the Democratic Alliance (AD) “that would allow us to guarantee the stability of the government for four years.” AD is “just above Rui Rio’s voices.” Thus, the Portuguese “want the two sides to understand each other,” he said.
“Votes are not for sale. If they say no, no, they will have to go to the PS to make it viable,” he said. The President of the Republic accused him of “excessive voluntarism” in seeking a government solution, but André Ventura insisted: “In a government agreement, it makes sense that people and politics should be in harmony. They cannot ask us to approve the Budget without discussion.”
After the emigrant votes are counted (for which Chega has “high hopes”), if the PS is the party with the most votes, the party will “actively oppose” and “will not contribute to the creation of a socialist government”, nor will it accept “the appointment Santos Pedro Nuno” for the post of Prime Minister. Regarding reports of the cancellation of a significant part of the votes of emigrants, Chega expressed concern and promised to take “an initiative in parliament on this matter”, avoiding “cancellation of procedures and creating even greater confusion.”
AD, which unites SDP, HDZ and PPM, with 29.49%, received 79 deputies in the Assembly of the Republic in the legislative elections on March 10 against 77 for the PS (28.66%), followed by Chega with 48 deputies. elected (18.06%).
IL with eight seats, BE with five and PAN with one, maintained the number of MPs. Livre went from one elected representative to four, and the CDU lost two seats and was left with four deputies.
Four MPs are yet to be investigated for emigration, which will not happen until Wednesday.
