PSD and BE needed to “put order in the house”

Still the Tutti-Frutti process. Fernando Medina and Duarte Cordeiro Ilibados: Is that really the essential point in this subject?

It took a long time, but the decision arose: the prosecutor filed a prosecution against 60 defendants in the process of corruption crimes, prevarication, bleaching and trafficking in influence.

One of the focuses on the reactions to this decision has been… who Arguido was not constituted. Namely Fernando Medina and Duarte Cordeiroboth former ministers, who are not on the Public Prosecution Service list.

But Is that really the central point? The question launched at Joao Miguel Tavares, who admits that the observation about Medina and Lamb is “valid” but stresses that the order shows “Dozens and dozens of people involved, dozens and dozens of schemes” of exchange of money, favors, in municipal power. And it is not to “hear it; Everything is written there“.

In fact, in the accusation it reads: “The defendants obtained undue equity advantages, for themselves and third parties, at the expense of the public purse, directly resulting from the practice of crimes (…). Such amounts must reverse in favor of the state. ”

The MP requested the loss of mandate and future ineligibility of 13 Presidentsamong presidents, former presidents and members of executives of parish councils and municipal councils.

There are several defendants. Two of them are deputies: Carlos Eduardo Reis and Luís Newton. The first will suspend the term at the end of this term, the second announced that it will ask for the suspension – but continues to be president of the Estrela Parish Council.

But there is still Other elements that continue in functionsin various scenarios. “THE PSD Leadership Are you comfortable with this? Don’t say anything? You need to put a point of order in the house. Should indicate the Output door to all these people“, Warns commentator Paulo Ferreira, mainly questioning the absence of response by Luís Montenegro.

A Condut no Be

Also on the radio, Bruno Vieira Amaral questioned the news that came up this Sunday about the Left block (BE).

A proposal to change to BE statutes, prepared by the Board, establishes a “Catalog of duties” of the militants-who should “refrain from conduct that causes serious damage to the good name of the party”.

Speaking to Lusa, the secretarial leader Luís Fazenda argued that this change aims to protect the party from people who “eventually practice crimes graves” and stressed that the PS It has the same formulation in its statutes.

But Not quite: In PS the similar rule is about supporters, not militants.

This novelty something dubious, warns Bruno Vieira Amaral, increases the already great “boiling” around the party. “It does not come to calm the opposition; On the contrary, it stimulates the opposition more. Be cannot put order in the house“He concludes.
