The parliamentary leader of the PS appeared this Wednesday, available to discuss possible improvements to party funding laws and the organization of the functioning of the Assembly of the Republic from September, in the next legislature.
This point of view was conveyed by Eurico Brilhante Dias in a press conference, after being questioned about the need or not for clarification in legislative terms, to avoid repetition of judicial operations, with searches and party headquarters, as happened with the PSD last week.
This judicial operation, which was considered disproportionate and unjustified by representatives of different political forces, was said to have been motivated by doubts based on a hypothetical need for separation between party and parliamentary activities on the part of members of parliamentary groups.
According to Eurico Brilhante Dias, the question of clarifying the law has been raised by the President of the Republic, although the PS considers that “the law is clear”.
“The PS adheres to both the Party Finance Act and the Act on the Organization and Operation of the Assembly of the Republic. However, given the idea that a clarification or clarification is useful, the PS has made itself available for this discussion to that extent. not provisionally, but in September, with all parties having seats in the Assembly of the Republic,” declared the leader of the socialist group.
Regarding a possible request to the Prosecutor General of the Republic, Lucília Gago, to clarify the judicial operation aimed at the PSD, the president of the parliamentary group of the PS admitted this possibility “for the peace of everyone “.
That is, Lucília Gago should clarify “aspects that may have caused more alarm,” he added.
