I did not want to elaborate on what are the legal alternatives to circumvent Parliament’s initiative to register funds for the Resolution Fund that serve to capitalize the New Bank. But António Costa guaranteed that he will enforce the contract signed with Lone Star in relation to the sale of Novo Banco and that he will determine the injection of capital by the Resolution Fund whenever the bank’s capital ratios are below those required.
“I am not going to discuss legal techniques. But a signed contract must be respected, existing law must be respected and legality must be respected in a country with the rule of law,” he said.
And he criticized, in this sense, the Left Bloc and also the PSD, whose leader continued to be the target of criticism from the Prime Minister for the approval of the toll reduction in the former court. He said they “regret that the parties have defected or have not resisted the populist temptation to pass measures that have the effect of undermining the international credibility of the country.”
But he promised: “We will do everything so that those who wanted to play with fire do not burn the country. We will do everything so that not only the legality imposed by our Constitution, that the budget preparation law imposes on the budget to register all the contractual obligations of the State” . [seja cumprida] and ensure that under no circumstances is international credibility called into question. “
“The fight continues and we will continue to face the pandemic, the economic and social crisis, to protect Portugal, the Portuguese and the good international name,” he added that he did not stop there. Without wanting to comment on the details, Costa assured those who listened to him, “whether they are those who listen to us in Portugal or internationally”, “that the Portuguese State is a rule of law, that it respects the laws and the contracts it signs.”
The words were direct to the Bloco and Rui Rio. “It is very sad to see how, in a moment of such serious crisis, they did not hesitate to desert in the face of the first difficulty, like the Bloco de Esquerda”, the previous Legislature partner. And to Rui Rio: “And how is it that a politician with so many years of experience destroys the credibility of the statements he made about tolls, and once again gains temporary popularity? Political life is made at the service of Portugal and the Portuguese through thick and thin. When it’s easy and difficult. ”
“That is what we are doing here. Faced with these drifts, the determination to move forward only strengthens us. The more difficult it is, the more determined I am to move forward, no one thinks it will scare us with negative majorities that only converge to try to avoid He is doing it. If there is not a dog, there will be a cat, but we are going to do it. The country would not forgive us if we did not do what we have to do and if we do not fulfill all the commitments. “
The day the Budget for 2021 is approved, the Prime Minister assures that it is a document that “has a dimension of hope”, naming the payment of 100% of the dismissal or the non-refundable one billion euros for micro, small and medium-sized companies ; and the reinforcement that he says came from the NHS.
“It is clear that it is not the approval of the state budget law that magically solves all the problems of the country. But for that it is essential to have this tool ”.
