Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa did not engage on Friday with concrete advice on the package of measures for housing presented by the government this Thursday.
“The package of measures is very large, only after opening the melon can it be seen whether it will be good,” said the president of the republic in Podence, Macedo de Cavaleiros.
The head of state acknowledged that “not everyone agrees with the measures” and doubted whether the “objectives will be reached quickly, if the situation of families improves, if there is a machine to mobilize them at the state and municipal level, if the banking system is sensitive and if taxes start to change the situation of the Portuguese “. “It has yet to be known how many families will be affected and how long it will take to take effect,” he added.
Marcelo says that “it is normal for there to be criticism”. “There are those who think the solution goes through more state, there are those who think it goes through the market and creates a new rental regime. I await public discussion this month. Some measures will have to go to parliament, others going straight to the presidency of the republic I don’t pronounce myself without knowing what the laws say It’s a lot I found it hard to write it all down The government sent me the ideas don’t read I’ll take each law one by one examine one and tell you if I agree or disagree or if there are doubts about its constitutionality.”he explained.
Regarding the situation of teachers, the president of the republic said that the “prime minister has explained that the situation of teachers is different from others who have lost years”. “Many teachers were far from the end of their careers and were punished more than other sectors of the civil service. The solution will not be perfect, but it will cover many problems in the situation of teachers. Perhaps there is a chance for a light at the end of the tunnel”he confessed.
Marcelo acknowledged that he has “low expectations” regarding the Recovery and Resilience Program (PRR), but would rather “be wrong”. “Let’s hope this money gets to the end of the line, which is works done,” he stressed.
The head of state also commented on the PCP’s note on the award of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying that the communists have been consistent. “The leader of the PCP told me that this note would come out. The PCP has a well-known and coherent position on Ukraine,” he explained.
