The president of Chega, André Ventura, considered, this Wednesday, shameful that the PSD has not yet realized that without a parliamentary commission of inquiry, nothing will ever be known about the possible interference of the prime minister in the banking system.
“With the responses we’ve had in the last two months, it’s embarrassing to see that the biggest opposition party still doesn’t realize that either we’re moving towards a parliamentary inquiry, or we’ll never know anything about the active meddling of a prime minister in the banking system to protect the daughter of a president who is currently under investigation by the authorities and has an international arrest warrant“André Ventura criticized, in statements to journalists in parliament.
The president of Chega was speaking shortly after the PSD parliamentary leader admitted that the party can give “a second chance” and repeat questions to the Prime Minister or raise new ones about possible interference in the Bank of Portugal, before considering a parliamentary investigation .
“We hope that this lack of response is what is needed to set up a parliamentary commission of inquiry instead of here always postponing, postponing, postponing,” appealed the president of Chega, considering that this is the “only existing parliamentary instrument.” “to get these answers.”
The PSD insists that Costa “interfered with the Bank of Portugal” and accuses him of evading questions
After listening to the words of Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, André Ventura exclaimed: “I think it’s time to act and not keep pretending we’re acting.”
“As Chega said from the beginning, we would not have any answer. The PSD parliamentary leader confirmed that there were no responses, that the responses were unsatisfactory and what is surprising is how the PSD thought the opposite would happen, ”he said.
Asked whether to exclude, as he has admitted in the past, going ahead with a parliamentary commission of inquiry, the PSD parliamentary leader considered that “investigation commissions are never threats.”
“We do not exclude any parliamentary mechanism, we do not exclude the commission of inquiry. Most likely, at this point, there is room for the President of the Government to have a second opportunity to clarify the Portuguese, since in this first he clarified little or nothing, ”he said.
António Costa sent the answer to the questions that the PSD asked Parliament on November 23, after the ex-governor of the Bank of Portugal Carlos Costa accused him of pressure and “political interference” in the impeachment process of businesswoman Isabel two saints. from BIC.
