The PSD said this Thursday that the prime minister will be out of common sense if he does not apply the questionnaire for governor candidates to current members of the executive branch, arguing that this will also be the understanding of the president of the republic.
In a political statement in parliament, Deputy Miguel Santos addressed the questionnaire – approved by the government on January 12 – for pre-authentication to be completed by guests for ministers or secretaries of state with 36 questions, covering the past three years of activities and extends to the household.
The President of the Republic has defended in recent days that the questionnaire for candidates for governors also applies to those already in office, for “good civic sense”, emphasizing that it covers matters not covered by the declaration of income and power fall.
“The President of the Republic speaks with common sense, he says that the Prime Minister must have common sense and common sense is achieved when the Prime Minister submits all members of the government to the said questionnaire. Minister – in the Qualification of the President of the Republic – without common sense”accused Miguel Santos.
When asked whether current members of government should also complete the 36-question survey on Wednesday, António Costa replied that it was not necessary.
According to the prime minister, the current members of the government have “already fulfilled these obligations” through the declarations of income and assets and “if there is a problem, the Constitutional Court, the Public Prosecutor’s Office or the Assembly of the Republic will take the appropriate measures “.
