Sergio Sousa Pinto
Sérgio Sousa Pinto did not like the PS/Madeira vote, which was essential in approving Chega’s motion of censure.
O Government Regional of Madeira it was this Tuesday, due to a motion of censure presented by Chega and approved by all opposition parties.
The favorable vote of the PS he was essential for this approval – and Sérgio Sousa Pinto didn’t like it of this stance, because it “glues” the socialists to Chega.
“It’s a embarrassment for the national PS because there is obviously a national effect: the PS – or at least a significant part of it, the regional PS, an important PS structure – join Chega in a convergence of votes that results from an initiative by Chega. Therefore, the PS appears in a subordinate position and does not lead the regional political process“.
In , the PT deputy remembers that this was how it was overthrown “a democratically elected governmenta government entrusted to a party of our democratic regime, the PSD. AND drops next to Chega“.
“I understand that the PS finds it extremely difficult to hold on to a government that has, not only the leader (Miguel Albuquerque), but also five regional secretaries as defendants. But a responsible politician has to equate, necessarily, the consequences of their decisions”, continues the PS deputy.
For Sérgio Sousa Pinto, an obvious consequence is: “The national effect, because here a negative and embarrassing confusion is created for the PS”, because a democratically elected government fell with the combined votes of the PS and Chega.
The deputy in the Assembly of the Republic suggests that, if the PS/Madeira “could have presented its own motion and then everyone voted as they wanted”, if they understood that the only way was to overthrow the government.
In this “horrible choreography” which puts “the PS behind Chega, with Chega commanding the regional political agenda” and overthrowing a democratic government, the other consequence is the third election in just over a year.
“This will not free regional politics from the blockage it finds itself in, it will degrade the conditions of governance in the Autonomous Region of Madeira… Therefore serves no useful purpose and still runs the risk of reinforcing Chega. Therefore, it is a concern that the PS had to have”, reinforced Sérgio Sousa Pinto.
