BE defended this Thursday that “the disregard for absolute power and palace politics is rotting a country with serious problems” and the PCP criticized those entertained by the “long soap”.
On the day when the President of the Republic addresses the country at 8 p.m. after disagreeing with the Prime Minister’s decision to keep João Galamba as Infrastructure Minister, the current political crisis reached the political statements in Parliament, with the PCP and BE have chosen the political situation as their subject.
The first to speak was the PCP, who referred through the voice of the parliamentary leader, Paula Santos, that “there was a lack of firings, more or less scandalous episodes, contradictory elements, inflated by a growing coverage in the media, which deliberately downgrades the daily problems” of the Portuguese, noting that “the situation is serious and should not be underestimated”.
“While excitedly preoccupied with what might happen in the next chapters of this lengthy telenovela, at the end of the day, employees and retirees worry whether their paychecks and pensions will last through the end of the month, whether they buy food on the table and medicines, if they manage to meet the costs of housing”criticized.
For Paula Santos, “what the PS promised with the much desired absolute majority is not coming true” as “the instability and uncertainty of people’s lives, inequalities and injustices are increasing”.
In contrast, the BE, through the voice of Mariana Mortágua, defended that “the past few days have been much more than a huge national embarrassment” and that the country was “ashamed of the irresponsible actions of the highest positions in the nation”. , this political statement is “a warning of the risks left open today, which go far beyond the risk of ridicule, which is no longer small”.
“The banality of lies, the disregard for absolute power and palace politics are rotting a country struggling with real and serious social problems,” he warned.
According to the blogger, “the lie as a method, its banality, affects democracy”, accusing the prime minister of being responsible for this attack “by amnestying all lies”.
Regarding “the risk of the palace policy”, of which this government of António Costa claims to be a “son”, Mariana Mortágua defended that it was this policy “agreed between the government and the president” that “caused the blockade of the negotiations on the left and that used the budget vote as a sufficient pretext to dissolve parliament”.
“All in the name of stability – or António Costa’s dream of an absolute majority. Here is António Costa’s absolute majority. Stability is also in sight,” he condemned, as António Costa and Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa “run into each other under pressure, don’t feel aware of the realities of a country struggling with galloping impoverishment”.
