Economy Minister visiting Biotek, in Vila Velha de Ródão
The PSD is already preparing for municipalities with the sending of ministers for institutional visits to municipalities across the country. But the situation was even worth a complaint from a mayor of the socialist chamber to the government.
Inaugurations, institutional visits, show work. These are the indications of Luís Montenegro, who, according to the found, indicated to the ministers that they will “to the street” visit municipalities, with a view to the local elections.
On January 31, for example, the pulp company, in Vila Velha de Ródão, Castelo Branco, received the Minister of EconomyPedro Reisa visit organized by the social democratic councilman Carlos Faria.
However, the visit generated a controversy that ended a complaint to the government by the mayor himself, Luís Pereira, who did not like the “parting of the visit of a government member”.
To the observer, the mayor complained of a “Unfortunate lack of democratic culture”accusing the executive of trying to obtain votes through photographs with ministers (whom he referred to ironically as “ministers”).
The mayor then decided to send a office for the office of all parliamentary groups (and the Prime Minister himself)criticizing the fact that “only the councilman elected by the PSD” was invited, “contrary to the most basic rules of institutional relations and courtesy between organs.”
The Minister of Economy himself eventually responded to the controversy, with a note where it is written that “it is not responsible for the Ministry of Economy to define who the other guests are.”
Sometimes, in addition to the chamber presidents, the Local PSD responsible visits are also present. At Nelo Kayaks, in Vila do Conde, visited by the Prime Minister in January, for example, in addition to the socialist president of the county, a Probable candidate for authority by the PSD.
One of the most viewed ministers on the ground is that of health, ANA PAULA MARTINS. Since January, dozens of municipalities have already moved to inaugurate or visit local health units such as Gondomar, Portalegre, Elvas, Ponta Delgada, among other institutional visits.
Also the Minister of Justice, Rita Alarcão Judicevisited several judicial facilities accompanied by the Secretary of State of Justice, Maria José Barros. The ministry has even created one on social networks that expresses that the government really wants to show work: #Ogovernoagovernor.
