The president of the PSD this Wednesday accused the government of “falling apart” and opined that the summary of the state of the nation is that there is a government adrift and that the PSD is an alternative”.
In a speech at the dinner of the PSD faction, on the eve of the parliamentary debate on the state of the nation with the government, Luis Montenegro summed up the year and a half of rule by the absolute majority of the PS as a period of ” messiness, layoffs, serious cases, discord, division”
“This government is falling apart, it’s not the government that started it and it no longer has an identity,” he criticized, pointing to the record number of firings in the executive branch.
On the other hand, the leader of the PSD accused the PS of “using and abusing the absolute majority” by rejecting “90% of the proposals” of the Social Democrats” and “more than two dozen hearings of members of the PSD unfeasible”.
“The government is afraid that the government members will come to parliament, no more rubbish will come out,” he said, pointing to the inquiry commission’s report to TAP as the “maximum expression”, in a negative sense, of the government’s actions and the PS in parliament.
In his nearly 40-minute intervention, Montenegro lamented that the party had assumed for months “with the nonsense talk, the spiel” that there was no alternative.
“It is a political myth that was permeated – and now the evidence has finally crept into the ground to be supported – that the PSD has no alternatives,” he said, as there is no memory of any opposition political party facing becomes “so active” in this area by an absolute majority.
The PSD leader left to the delegates what he considered the summary of the nation’s state.
“There will be no shortage of arguments to argue that the state of the nation is that we have a government adrift and that we have the PSD as an alternative,” he said.
In a very brief intervention, the parliamentary leader, Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, opined that there were reasons for the PSD to be proud of the work its bank has done this year.
“If a very strong downgrading of the government has already happened this year, things are not expected to improve for the government. We have more work ahead of us,” he predicted.
