“I would like to leave everyone with a sense of sensitivity so that we can make the just claim that the region, the social partners and the Government of the Autonomous Region of the Azores can do together, so that national solidarity, especially European solidarity, Through recovery and resilience, it can contribute, immediately, to find sufficient financial resources to support the continuity and recovery of economic activities, ”declared the head of the Azorean executive.

José Manuel Bolieiro intervened – in what was his first public act, after the inauguration of the new Azorean executive on Tuesday, in the regional parliament – through a videoconference under the theme “Economic recovery plan – Opportunities and challenges for the Azores ”, promoted by the Ponta Delgada Chamber of Commerce and Industry, within the framework of its 185th anniversary.

The president of the Regional Government, of the PSD / CDS / PPM coalition, considered that the financial endowments will also allow “through the companies the conservation and maintenance of employment and, above all, the just consolidation of social stability, to avoid new poverty and exclusion ”.

The official pointed out that “without means it is difficult to make the plan come true” in terms of public policies to face the economic crisis generated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

José Manuel Bolieiro hopes to receive contributions from the social partners, within the framework of a “social dialogue” that “in democracy must be constant.”

He defended that “a strategic plan for the Azores can only be medium and long-term, having to consider the emergencies faced by the Azores, in particular for epidemiological and public health reasons brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, and its consequences on the society and the economy ”.

The President of the Government of the Azores welcomed “the stimulating capacity, and perhaps surprising, but in a positive positive sense, of the reaction of the European Commission, admitting a response ready to react to the economic and social consequences that the pandemic brought. “.

José Manuel Bolieiro also said that the Government Program, which will be presented to parliament, will give effect to the electoral program of the PSD, in alliance with the other two political forces that make up the new Government of the Azores, CDS-PP and PPM.
