President of the Assembly of the Republic presented the accounts on the interruptions. Only the PAN was never warned in a debate.
O noise has existed for decades in Assembly of the Republic but, in recent months, the interruptions and confusion have reached another scale during the debates.
We had already left the indication that the president of the Assembly of the Republic was already becoming fed up of (so many) interruptions in the plenary.
“Democracy takes a lot of work. It is difficult for me to understand how it is not possible for us to listen to each other with democratic serenity. It’s hard for me to understand,” Aguiar-Branco said during a debate in October.
We didn’t know, but the second biggest figure in the Portuguese State has a list of the parliamentary groups to which he most often drew attention. And presented this list at .
O Enough leads, no surprises: it has already been called to attention 57 times during debates, in just seven months.
Next comes…the PSD. But very far away. The party that forms almost the entire Government has already sent 21 “messages”.
Aguiar-Branco also revealed who is further behind: PS e Book (14), BE (11) CDS-PP (7), IL (6) e PCP (2 reminders).
O PAN, that is, Inês de Sousa Real, was never warned in this legislature.
But the president of the Assembly of the Republic suggested to Ricardo Araújo Pereira that he take a look at the minutes of previous terms: “There will be material for a season of programs”.
In other words, interruptions and asides have been constant for decades. “Now there is more social communication, the scrutiny is greater. And thank goodness,” noted Aguiar-Branco.
