Speaking to journalists at the entrance of a celebratory dinner in the municipality of Câmara de Lobos, Madeira, Ventura defended that Fernando Medina should indicate which products in the food basket will no longer have VAT, “what agreement has been made with the distribution ” , as well as what “is the concept of vulnerable families”.
“Are they the ones receiving social benefits? Are the middle class being left out of this support?” he wondered.
André Ventura also wants to know whether the one percent increase in civil servant salaries “is retroactive” and whether “pensions are excluded”.
“I think it is basic justice for the country to know and for the country to know quickly what these measures are. If not, the government will limit itself to holding big press conferences, very pompous, with many people and with many journalists, but who are useless and nobody feels they are worth anything,” he defended.
“That is why the challenge for Fernando Medina is to explain this quickly. Since I suspect that he will not do it, Chega will force him to go to parliament to explain this, if possible as early as next week,” he stressed.
The government announced on Friday the reduction to zero of VAT on essential foodstuffs, the 1% increase in civil servants’ salaries, a monthly support of €30 for the poorest families and an extraordinary allowance of €15 per child and young person for beneficiaries of family members. . allowance.
