PSD, CDS, PPM and Chega, all four together. After all, the parliamentary advocacy agreement involving the party led by André Ventura was not only signed by the Social Democrats. Contrary to what Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos said on Thursday, the Christian Democrats (and monarchists) also gave the green light to the understanding that makes the new Regional Government of the Azores viable.
The PSD Regional Council (the parliament of the party in the archipelago) ratified this Friday night the document that had been closed last week, before the parties were heard by the representative of the Republic, Pedro Catarino. And it includes the signatures of José Manuel Bolieiro (president of the Social Democrats in the region), Artur Lima (CDS / Azores), Paulo Estêvão (PPM / Açores) and Carlos Furtado (Chega / Açores).
The controversy is related to the fact that Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos – whom Expresso asked for clarification – was decisive in excluding any type of agreement with Chega (of which, by the way, he has been very critical). “The CDS reached an agreement for the formation of a government only with the PSD and the PPM, that is very clear,” the centrist leader guaranteed two days ago.
And he said more: “It was up to the PSD to make the Democratic Alliance government parliamentarian viable and, as we saw, this happened through an escape maneuver that Chega found to identify measures in the PSD programs with which it agrees.”
The president of the CDS-PP considered, however, “evident that the PSD did not move a millimeter to approach Chega.” In his opinion, André Ventura is that “he did not know what he was going to do” and he will have stayed. cornered and at a real crossroads ”, and then ended up finding a“ crazy solution ”to say what was not said, that is, Chega, in fact, even agreed with some aspects of José Manuel Bolieiro’s program.
According to the texts approved this Friday unanimously in the PSD Regional Council, only the Liberal Initiative (IL) refused to appear in the photograph with Chega. As Expresso said, the green light for the first version of a right-wing contraption came through a parallel agreement, signed by Bolieiro and Nuno Barata, coordinator of IL / Açores.
As for the parliamentary advocacy agreement between PSD / CDS / PPM and the Chega coalition, as Expresso also reported, it is valid for the entire legislature and provides for the solid force of the right to vote on the government’s program, plan and budgets. regional authorities, as well as in the examination of motions of confidence or censure.
