In the current direction of the current direction, which brings together more than 600 subscribers, Mariana Mortágua acknowledges that she has a “militant party in reconfiguration” after the worst electoral result in May in May, which led the party to unique representation in Parliament.
The management of the BE, led by Mariana Mortágua, recognizes that she has made mistakes that led to the electoral fall and will face four opposing motions in the 14th National Convention, which point out lack of internal democracy and call for more attention to the foundations.
In addition to the ‘A’ orientation motion, headed by Mariana Mortágua, and the ‘s’ motion, which Lusa had already reported on the 27th, which will be re-applied to the Magna meeting in November, three texts were released: Motion ‘B’, entitled “Reconstruct for a new political cycle”, the motion ‘C’, “more block, less trends” that is in the “time to start over”.
In the motion ‘a’, of the current direction, which gathered more than 600 subscribers, Mariana Mortágua recognizes that she has a “militant party in reconfiguration”after that led the party to the unique representation in Parliament.
Insisting that the loss of confidence of your electoral base must be explained by “Right turn”the direction admits “own errors”.
“The response of the direction to the systematic offensive against the bloc, limited to isolated responses and without a joint response, fed a mistake that aggravated the party’s public wear,” they argue.
Given the loss of subsidy, the BE “will be essentially self-financed”, warns the current direction, which stresses the importance of “Payment of quotas, militant effort, or voluntary work in technical and managers”.
Mortágua is committed to increasing the mechanisms of internal democracy, which is the main criticism of the opposition.
The ‘S’ motion, subscribed by about ninety militants, includes elements that joined the list of Mariana Mortágua at the national table at the last party convention in 2023, such as leader Adelino Fortunato or former deputies to the Assembly of the Republic Heitor Sousa and Alexandra Vieira.
These blocks maintain alerts about the possibility of “ideological dilution” and point to Lack of internal democracy as the “main factor of fragility” of the party.
The ‘B’ motion, which adds 36 subscribers, points to a “growing crystallization of practices that favor the reproduction of centralized and hierarchical power logics, even if covered with apparent opening”.
These blocks suggest that the party direction be elected in universal suffrage, “No delegates”.
The motion ‘B’ criticizes the political line adopted by the current direction, “frequently ambiguous, which followed a trajectory based on the institutional dispute, to the center, on a route removal from the founding matrix” and point out their finger at the “Excessive proximity to the PS” and a “Parliament-Electoral Attachment” that “emptied the protest space on the left”.
Also in a line of greater “radicality of socialist solutions”, The subscribers of the motion ‘H’ want the BE to be the “anti-system” party again.
These militants ask “A LESS LOST PARTY IN THE LOST STEPS” and “more found in struggles”, and regret that the BE has “stigmatized the divergence”, suggesting the limitation of mandates and turnover in the organs.
The motion ‘C’, with 39 subscribers, converges with the rest in criticism of the lack of internal democracy, necessary “as of bread to the mouth.”
Despite showing opening to dialogue with the motions ‘H’ and ‘S’, they leave various criticism of the ‘S’ motion and the “Convergence” movement, which generated the old motion ‘and’, headed by Pedro Soares.
More moderate and without radicalizations blocks
These blocks are more moderate and reject “radicalizations”: “We must graduate our positions, without, however, abandoning our socialist principles, because we need to recover the PS floating electorate, which in these elections turned our backs, preferring to vote freely.”
In the text, they even suggest a pre-election coalition with free in future elections to circumvent the problem of “wasted votes.”
