It’s another 15 days already thinking about many others to come. The President of the Republic has already sent Parliament the diploma that limits several fundamental rights. And he warns: the country must be prepared to witness new renewals of the state of emergency.
The renewal of the state of emergency again brings tough measures, which have not been applied since the spring. The compulsive confinement of the infected or under active surveillance returns. The application of restrictions becomes gradual in Portuguese territory.
The document makes explicit the possibility of limiting the movement of people and the partial or total closure of establishments.
It also opens the door to measures to ensure that the healthcare system does not go bankrupt. Termination of employment contracts in the NHS can be suspended.
The president’s decree is finalized after a long meeting with infamous experts. For the first time, the president’s doubts were heard, who put on the table the scenario of total closure, as in the first wave.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa recognizes that the critical tone of the population has increased as decided. But leave a compliment to the attitude of the Portuguese.
Parliament votes this Friday to renew the state of emergency. The government announces on Saturday the measures that will take effect at midnight on Tuesday.
