“Where is the health minister?”

The president of the arrival questioned this Saturday “where the health is the minister of health” before the emergency services closed, which is why the party will seek to call an urgency Ana Paula Martins to Parliament next week.

“We had this Saturday 7 closed emergencies In the country, ”he began by referring André Ventura, at a press conference that took place at the party’s headquarters in Lisbon at the end of the day.

After the debate “Last week, when the prime minister defended the government’s work in health, unlike the arrival, which pointed to him very serious failures that the Portuguese felt day by day health, today was the best proof of all The Prime Minister lied and omitted“He pointed out.

And argued: “Lied when I said health was recovering Better, because we can’t imagine that we have more closed emergencies this year than last year. ”

This Sunday will be “eight emergencies closed alsofor now, throughout the country, especially in the region of Lisbon and Vale do Tagus ”, continued Ventura, noting that“It is a gigantic failure of the government that has to be pointed out ”.

Before this situation, “where the radius is the minister of healthon a day when the emergencies are closed, where there are hospitals that are not attending as they should, where the Minister of Health is, ”asked André Ventura.

“We don’t know what the health minister thinks and we don’t know how they will solve the problem, This is the true drama of an incompetent and absent government ”, because“did not try to do what António Costa did not do“And knowing that there are vacation and absence scales,” especially on holidays and on vacation days, it has done nothing to be careful that this health was accessible, “he said.

Therefore, the arrival will look next week that “it is possible, although with difficulty, Urgently call the minister to Parliament to give an explanation of what is going on in health. ”

This is “ Last week before the formal start of the campaign Electoral, there is also a permanent committee meeting on Wednesday ”and as on Tuesday there is a conference of leaders“ arrives will seek, given the absolutely emerging and extraordinary situation, Call the minister to responsibility of health, ”he said.

This is because “It is not acceptable, we are at the door of the election campaign or notlet it be accepted that the country has seven, eight, 10 or 15 closed emergencies, as people are at home or are absent from their workplace and if they need health do not have it, or have to resort to the private sector.

Therefore, the arrival will seek to get a response from the government – even if “the Assembly of the Republic understands that There is no longer conditions for a debate or for a call to the health minister’s reason to Parliament ”.

André Ventura also left a “note of regret, already affirmed on the day of death of the Holy Father, but whose funeral was held in Rome today and deserves a note of dismay and follow -up and monitoring of all parties. ”

Therefore, it arrives, “and unfortunately not as others, chose not to campaign this day,” he said.
