The party sided with the Left Bloc to prevent the transfer of 476 million euros from the Resolution Fund to the Novo Banco. The proposal is voted on again and it will be possible, now with Chega’s abstention.
“The State must be a good person,” the PSD deputy, Duarte Pacheco, began assuring, adding that “the transfer can only be made after the audit is known and if the amount is owed,” said the parliamentarian.
And if that is the conclusion of the audit, “the PSD agrees to approve,” said the Social Democratic coordinator in the Budget and Finance Commission (COF). “We have to fulfill the commitments, but the contracts have two parts: I pay the bill that is due, not the one presented to me,” he said.
“Taxpayers’ money is not at stake,” insisted the PS deputy, João Paulo Correia. “It is an atomic bomb for the financial system,” fired the parliamentarian.
“Approving the budget and saying that the audit in question is taken seriously is a lie,” said the blocking deputy, Mariana Mortágua, insisting that “transparency” is at stake. “The PS still has time to join this proposal,” challenged the parliamentarian.
The CDS also announced that it will not change the vote, abstaining from what makes the rule workable.
The viability of the Left Bloc rule was approved on the last day of voting in the COF. A surprise at the twenty-fifth hour, supported by PSD, PCP, PAN and BE. The abstention of the CDS and the votes against the PS, the Liberal Initiative and the Chega that will now abstain, announced the sole deputy, André Ventura, assuring that “the proposal is legally ill-conceived” and therefore does not vote in favor.
The Secretary of State for Finance insisted that this decision could undermine the financial system and undermine the credibility of the country. “What is the timetable for concluding the audit of the Court of Accounts?” Asked João Nuno Mendes. “Will the New Bank stay until the end of 2021?” He insisted.
