The national board of Chega reacted to the injection of 850 million euros from the Resolution Fund into Novo Banco through a statement demanding “the return of that money to the State until the audit of Novo Banco is completed, as guaranteed by the Prime Minister”.
Chega expresses his greatest amazement at the injection of 850 million euros, apparently unknown to the prime minister. It is a case to ask: who is in charge of the Government, António Costa or Mário Centeno? “The statement read, referring to what happened in the biweekly debate on Thursday, when the Prime Minister denied that the Resolution Fund had carried out the transfer, being forced to apologize to the Left Bloc on Friday to discover that the Ministry of Finance had made that decision.
The 850 million euros came from the Treasury coffers to the Resolution Fund through a loan, which allowed the injection of 1,037 million euros to compensate for the bad results of Novo Banco in the 2019 financial year, after presenting a loss of 1,059 million euros. .
“This is one of the cases that shows the incongruity and insolence of the government: crushing the middle class while continuing to support the bank, throwing sand in everyone’s eyes,” defends the party chaired by André Ventura.
Like Chega, PSD, PCP, and PAN criticized support for Novo Banco, and Social Democratic leader Rui Rio wrote that “the Portuguese cannot continue to pay for the bankruptcy of Banco Espírito Santo indefinitely, without at least there must be rigorous scrutiny of the reasons that determine it ”.
