The prime minister said, in an interview with TVI on Monday, that the government’s diploma on the mandatory use of the StayAway Covid app was due to enter Parliament on Friday.
However, given the controversy created around the idea and the PSD’s proposal on the mandatory use of masks in the street, António Costa preferred to leave space for the Assembly of the Republic to first debate the question of application, speeding up the legislation use of masks.
“I verified that, of the two proposals we made, there was a relatively consensual one, which was the mandatory use of the mask on the street, and another that caused doubts and rejection. Today I asked the President of the Republic to remove from the agenda the diploma that would be delivered on Friday because the PSD presented a diploma only on the use of masks and therefore, if this issue is consensual, let us legislate on masks now and in The application issue is very useful for the Assembly of the Republic to hold all the hearings to reflect on this issue, ”said António Costa.
Regarding the proposal that makes the StayAway Covid application mandatory, António Costa recalled a survey by the “Jornal de Notícias”, carried out in June, which concluded that “the majority of Portuguese said that the application should be mandatory. It is a debate that has been taking place in society and I thought it would be useful for the Assembly of the Republic to lead this debate ”.
Regarding the criticisms of the request, the Prime Minister defended that they are due to “ignorance of some essential data. The ‘app’ does not allow us to track our movements, there is no database where the information is deposited and anonymity is guaranteed ”, he explained.
