The last television debate took place today, in the presence of all political parties with parliamentary seats. Among the topics covered are justice, health and economics.
Today, the parties holding parliamentary seats held their final television debate, which addressed the topics of justice, health, and the economy.
Starting with the issue of justice, the two sides faced the recent events that took place in the country and led to the fall of two governments. For Pedro Nuno Santos, leader of the Socialist Party, what happened in recent months in Portugal is not “irrelevant” and “we have to understand what happened.” The party stresses that “the hierarchical relationship in the Public Prosecution must be clarified.” The Left Bloc believes that it is important for “the public ministry to explain to the country when its actions have political consequences.”
For Luis Montenegro, AD candidate, the renomination of Miguel Albuquerque “is his choice.” However, AD points out that in the field of justice, it is important “that a decision be made within 72 hours and, if necessary, appealed to further judges.” “Politicians have to fulfill their duties, as well as justice,” highlights Montenegro.
The Liberal Initiative, led by Rui Rocha, believes it is necessary to “simplify processes to combat corruption.” Inés Souza Real's PAN newspaper highlights that “corruption is fought with increased resources.”
Paulo Raimondo, of the Chinese Communist Party, spoke of the fact that legal costs “keep thousands of people out of justice” and Lever highlighted that “we have a severe malaise in justice” and that this could be combated by “giving our democracy greater transparency in justice.” “. Processes “.
health
On the topic of health, Montenegro states that “it is necessary to save the SNS from eight years of PS mismanagement” and guarantees that it will approve “a program for the health field to address the biggest constraints.” Chiga, by Andre Ventura, follows the same line of thinking when it comes to the state of the NHS, highlighting that “we have an unresponsive health system” and that “we need new models of health management”.
PAN stresses that the response in health involves investing “in family doctors”, while BE emphasizes that “resources are needed to maintain professionals in the SNS”, and Livre reveals that “the SNS needs the conditions to be the best for the Portuguese”. . The PS stresses that it is necessary to “continue to evaluate careers.”
Economics and taxes
Regarding the country's economy, the Communist Party declares that “we suffer from a brutal situation of injustice with regard to the distribution of wealth.” For Inés Souza Real, on this topic, the measures include ensuring that “the IRS levels are reviewed, and we start talking about the green economy.”
The Socialist Party asserts that this is not a “financial shock,” as the Democratic Party wants, but rather a “salary shock,” and the party offers a “wise budget strategy.”
In AD's view, the IRC's losses play a role, as Luis Montenegro considers himself “an optimist and I have great confidence in the productive capacity of the Portuguese people.” Andre Ventura believes that “the country cannot afford more taxes.”
“We have to make the Portuguese economy grow,” Rui Rocha highlights, and according to IL's proposals, it is possible to reach the end of the legislature with 4% economic growth.
But Ruy Tavares reveals that “declines in IRC do not give us guarantees of economic investment,” stressing that “public investment must return.” Mariana Mortagua also highlights that “a lower ranking position privileges a few companies,” and that more wealth is produced “through a value-added economy.”
