Analysis
After the approval of the State Budget, debates in Parliament with Luís Montenegro once again focus on new priorities. In analysis at SIC Notícias, professor Luís António Santos highlighted which issues should dominate the plenary session that begins this Wednesday, at 3 pm.
O already was approved, with the abstention of the Socialist Party (PS), and despite having been “a stage overcome”, as the Prime Minister said at the time and having brought “some stability” to Luís Montenegro, the truth is that there are still sectors that expose weaknesses, stressed the professor at the Institute of Social Sciences at the University of Minho Luís Antônio Santos.
“From a political point of view, there is some additional stability for the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, after the approval of the But that doesn’t mean that the pressure from Parliament won’t be felt, and it seems to me that that’s where things will start with this debate”, highlighted the professor.
Luís António Santos considered that the internal administration, education and health are the three departments where some weakness is noted.
“Health is preparing for a period that tends to be complicated, which is winter, and, therefore, it is natural that some of these weaknesses are taken advantage of by opposition parties to ask the Government for some action, some indication of improvement”.
The case of INEM was also highlighted, given the direct connection of the Minister of Health, Ana Paula Martins, to the appointments of those responsible.
“[Sobre o] In the case of INEM, it is natural that within some time we will know a little more about what happened with the INEM staff strike, but the INEM itself [ministra] has an added responsibility, because the head of INEM is the third party it appoints”, highlighted the professor.
Regarding tensions with the professional classes, the professor indicated that new mobilizations should happen soon.
“It seems to me that what the Democratic Alliance did was promise to solve some of the social issues with professions linked to the functioning of the State. The point is that, from the moment it resolved these problems, or at least immediately resolved these problems, all other professional groups with very similar situations, such as career progression stopped for decades, or with real salaries in loss, began to mobilize to ask for at least the same”, he said.
Luís António Santos also highlighted that it will be “very natural”, that at the beginning of next year, another gprofessional group to protest, especially because “iThis happens with all governments and it won’t happen with this one.”
