At the entrance of the opening ceremony of the governing bodies of CIP, in Lisbon, Montenegro classed the revelations of the commission’s first weeks as “an embarrassment”, without ever answering the question of whether the PSD intends to file a motion of censure, after being challenged by Chega to do so.
“So far, the Commission of Inquiry has been very important, as it has revealed what is a common characteristic of the exercise of the PS government: lightness in action, in procedures, informality, immaturity, an example of everything that should not be. ” done. to do in public management, be it at the corporate or board level,” he charged.
Luís Montenegro assured that the commission will “continue its work and draw its conclusions”, but believed that what has happened so far is already open to comment.
“Everything that has been present at the hearings is a disgrace. All the involvement, both from an institutional point of view and from a procedural point of view, the way members of the government are interfering, they have direct interference in the management of the company.” , the outrageous way they simulate requests for clarification and then write their own clarifications that the company gives to the country,” he criticized.
“There have been several examples of how the country is not in good hands with this PS and this government,” he concluded.
On Monday, Chega leader André Ventura challenged the leader of the PSD to submit a motion of censure to the government, arguing that there is a “permanent and clear degradation of the institutions” and that a “zero degree of policy”.
Ventura said if the PSD doesn’t do this sooner, Chega will file a censure motion during the next legislature. Chega cannot do this before the first days of September, as it has already exercised that right during the current session and the initiative failed.
Luís Montenegro responded shortly afterwards, via a ‘tweet’, but without ever saying whether or not the PSD intends to resort to this regimental tool.
“PS and Chega are increasingly going together. Both show lack of preparation, lightness and immaturity. Announcing a motion of censure half a year in advance is just as different as having nationalized and then privatized TAP. A good government and a good opposition are these not,” Luís Montenegro wrote in a post on his official account on the social network Twitter.
