The Socialist Secretary-General, José Luís Carneiro, He considers it to be “very serious what has been said,” during his speech at the Pontal party, “in relation to all: journalists, televisions, commentators, and TC judges.”
The PS leader considered on Thursday “incomprehensible” and “very serious” the “attack of the prime minister to the Constitutional Court (TC) and his judges for fulfilling the Constitution,” accusing the prime minister of being “oblivious” to the country’s problems.
“It is incomprehensible to attack the TC and their judges for fulfilling the Constitution, the attack on journalists for making information, analysts for opinion and even the editorial criteria of televisions,” lamented José Luís Carneiro, in statements to journalists in Paredes de Coura.
The Socialist Secretary-General He said it was “very serious what has been said about all: journalists, televisions, commentators and judges of the TC.”
“We have a Prime Minister completely oblivious to what is going on and living in the country,” he said.
Carneiro also said that the Prime Minister Luís Montenegro has repeated some of the socialist messages.
“But its function is not to repeat the opposition leader’s message. It is to perform what has committed itself.
Carneiro also stressed that Montenegro “Failed severely in health response”having not been heard of “a response to women who walk from land to land to give birth, to housing, another serious problem, or salary issues.”
Montenegro’s intervention
Prime Minister Luís Montenegro warned on Thursday that It would not be normal for the judges of the Constitutional Court to make “a political judgment when its function is to make a legal judgment”claiming to expect this not to happen.
However, the Chief Executive considered that “what is no longer normal,” and “even a little weird, is when there are politicians, political parties, who make the appreciation of a judicial body political decisions” and “ask a court to make a political judgment and politically decide a decision.”
“This is no longer normal, much less normal, if eventually it happens – and I do not want to believe it happens – that the own holders of the judicial power can, themselves, assume a political judgment when their function is to make a legal judgment,” he said.
