This Friday, Chega challenged the president of the Assembly of the Republic to salute November 25, after the right wing stood up to applaud the date, to which Santos Silva replied that, like others, this is also “very important”.
During the debate on the recall of proposals to amend the state budget for 2023 (OE2023), PSD deputy Alexandre Poço began his intervention by marking the date: “Long live democracy, long live November 25,” he said, standing ovation by most of the deputies on the right.
Minutes later, Chega’s deputy Pedro Pinto questioned the board about the execution of the work, to challenge Augusto Santos Silva.
“You just welcomed, and very well, that today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, when the deputy Inês Sousa Real spoke about it. , Said.
For the parliamentarian, “the President of the Assembly of the Republic should also greet this day”.
Responding to the challenge, Augusto Santos Silva believed that Pedro Pinto was “slightly mistaken”, justifying that on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women he only recalled the decision taken unanimously by the Assembly of the Republic to provide more clarity. symbolically the facade of the building.
“As for November 25, 1975, it is a date, like others, very important and these different dates explain why today we are a pluralistic democracy where everyone fits, governed by a constitution, which at the same time establishes a liberal democracy with a strong social component If you wanted to hear that, I’d be happy to say so,” he said.
The parties this Friday called about a dozen proposals to amend the budget, which must be voted on again before the final general vote on the budget proposal, but the result did not change from the result obtained the day before in the votes in the specialty in the Budget and Finance Committee.
One of the initiatives requested was that of the PCP to create a contribution on extraordinary profits, which includes more sectors and a higher rate than the one proposed by the government, with communist deputy Bruno Dias challenging the PS to to approve it.
The answer fell to the Secretary of State for Tax Affairs, António Mendonça Mendes, who reminded the PCP that, in order to cover the 2022 profits, the standard cannot be in the OE (which will only come into effect in January), legally required to party, again challenging the PCP to join the PS and make the government’s proposal viable.
Parliament also confirmed the leadership of other proposals such as Livre to conduct a national inquiry into the presence of asbestos in private homes and establish an initial funding program for its removal and another for Chega to be exempt from IMI, during the period of validity of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, in private and permanent homes with a net value of up to 350 thousand euros.
A proposal from BE on the rent revaluation coefficient was also rejected, or even a proposal from the PSD to adjust the Porta 65 programme.
