At issue is the refusal to open an internal inquiry in the controversial case of the dismissals that is already being investigated by the prosecutor.
Members of the internal opposition of the Left Block (BE) Elisa Antunes, Gabriela Mota Vieira, Pedro Soares and Ricardo Salabert They dismissed themselves today from the party’s political commission, which they consider “a depleted body of their competences.”
According to a statement to the media, these layoffs were presented today during the meeting of the national table of BE, the maximum party of the party between conventions, which takes place in Lisbon.
In this note, “the refusal at the last meeting of the Political Commission for the Constitution of an Inquiry Committee to evaluate and determine collective and individual responsibilities in the process of dismissal of employees” is pointed out as the “Drop of water that made the glass overflow.”
“We know that there is a critical situation that has not yet been explained. People, public opinion cannot realize, therefore, means that the secretariat It has not been able to know how to explain what happened. I think the best way to find accountability is in fact making an inquiry and come to conclusions about this inquiry, ”said Pedro Soares, a spokesman for the opposing board of the management at the last BE Convention.
He referred to the scandal about the dismissal of the party’s newborns (which is under investigation by the prosecutor), which joined a testimony of one who says he was fired after having passed the paintings to green receipts.
The four members of the Political Commission elected by the list of opposition to the management of the BE coordinated by Mariana Mortágua say they do not want to “continue to be members of a depleted body of their competences and, for the most part, gives full coverage to methods, positions and decisions ”For which they“ consider themselves strange ”.
“Facing the crisis that the block is going through demands courage and humility from the direction. Make mistakes It necessarily implies consequences that must be defined in a just and grounded manner ”, reads in the text.
The national table of BE elects from its members a political commission, taking into account the proportionality of the electoral results of the different motions presented to the National Convention, for tasks of direction, representation and application of their deliberations.
