The PSD president warned on Tuesday that the “crown of glory” of the “new PS” is being achieved at the cost of “widespread impoverishment”, predicting that António Costa will deliver a country worse than he received.
At the end of the PSD’s parliamentary days, Luís Montenegro diagnosed widespread impoverishment in the country, despite the fact that “the accounts have the deficit under control” and that the debt will fall, which he attributed mainly to the effect of inflation.
“But you have to know at what price. What is today the crown of glory of the new PS, dressed as an irate proponent of sound public accounts, this crown of glory translates into widespread impoverishment in all sectors under the responsibility of the state,” , defended.
During an intervention lasting about half an hour, the PSD leader recovered the messenger metaphor António Costa had used Monday evening to accuse the current prime minister of joining two socialist governments that had already given the Social Democrats a worse “witness” than her. received, referring to the executives led by António Guterres and José Sócrates.
“Dr António Costa will receive testimony for the third time in his political life and he will get in the way, drop the testimony on the ground and we will have to catch him and resume the race,” he said.
For the Social Democratic Bank, in the Assembly of the Republic, the PSD chairman also acknowledged the “extraordinary growth” that will take place this year, despite justifying that it is happening “in the meantime of two absolutely mediocre results”.
“We get impoverished, even if this, with hypothetically good growth, is not reflected in people’s lives. I like to think about people and ask whether, in addition to this statistic, they feel in their lives that they are better or worse … that we’re getting worse,” he said.
In 2014, when he was the parliamentary leader of the PSD, which ruled the country in coalition with the CDS-PP at the time of the ‘troika’ memorandum, a sentence by Luís Montenegro in an interview caused controversy when he stated that “it people’s lives are not better, but the land is much better”.
