In Spain, Luís Montenegro said he wants more security on Portuguese streets and more immigration control. The prime minister went to Madrid to the popular party congress, the largest opposition party and the one he considers to be the ‘brother’ of the PSD.
Luís Montenegro said on Saturday that the government wants “more security on the streets” and more “police authority” after accusing socialist executives of irresponsibility with immigration.
“We change the rules of immigration, we want more security in the streets, more authority for the police, a system of justice that works. For us, the rule of law, respect for rights and law, is the first value of democracy. If we lose the basis of the rule of law, we lose respect for the people,” he said.
Montenegro spoke in Madrid, at the Congress of the Spain Popular Party (PP), which runs until Sunday, being one of the two international guests of the meeting.
The PSD leader, who spoke in Spanish, said the years of socialist governments in Portugal “stopped the country and its development” and “they had an irresponsible migratory policy, without regulation and without control.”
Montenegro also accused the PS governments of being radicalized, fostered “fracture and division”that public health and education services, of not having a housing policy, to have “systematically increased” taxes and to have joined the far left and the far right “in the corridors of politics” to overthrow the previous executive, which he led.
“But the people have united forces on the streets to legitimize us and approve the motion that matters most, the confidence of the people. Today we are renovating Portugal and we are not in government to maintain power at any price,” he said.
He also stated that, like the Spanish PP, The PSD in Portugal “is the People’s Party”the “true advocate of the welfare state”, which wants “good accounts” in public finances and has growth goals for the economy.
Manifesting the certainty that the PP will lead the next government in Spain, Montenegro considered that this scenario will be the best for Spain and the Iberian Peninsula.
