The PCP scheduled a mandatory parliamentary debate on Housing for February 15. The communists are going to propose, among other things, a limit to the effort rate for families and that the increase in interest rates falls fundamentally “on the set of fees and commissions that are charged to the families themselves” and not on the mortgage payment.

At the end of the two days of the party’s parliamentary sessions, which took place in Beja, Paula Santos, communist parliamentary leader, defined the motto: before the “stage of great difficulty and very complicated for many, many families” it is important to “prevent families from defaulting” and “protecting the home, so that nobody defaults”. default”.

The party headed by Paulo Raimundo will present several proposals, such as that housing credit contracts can be renegotiated with a limit of 35% effort rateto allow families to “meet the monthly payments and installments through their mortgage loan.”

In addition, the PCP also wants “the increases in fees through interest rates, before affecting these increases in fees, to focus on the set of fees and commissions that are charged to the families themselves.”

On Monday, in an interview with RTP, António Costa revealed that he will organize a Council of Ministers dedicated exclusively to Housing on February 14, the eve of the debate requested by the PCP. Faced with the journalists’ confrontation with the coincidence of dates, the communist leader assured that the party’s initiative had already been planned and that the Council of Ministers was scheduled “later.”

“The permanence of the PCP in Parliament is not at risk. It is a scenario that does not arise ”

“Whose stability? We want stability for the workers”

In the response phase to journalists, Paula Santos made a political analysis of the interview with António Costa. Repeating António Filipe’s criticisms, the communist parliamentary leader accused the prime minister of “underestimating the real problems” of the country, “which are getting worse by the day.”

In addition, one day after Paulo Raimundo told António Costa the way out if he could not reverse the path, Paula Santos devalued the abstract concept of stability. “But whose stability? We want to guarantee the stability of life for workers. The government has chosen to reject the solutions and has been accomplice the interests of economic groups. For those there has been stability, ”he shot.

The parliamentary leader has also announced that she will request the modification of the Statute of the National Health Service, eliminating what the communists consider the “most negative guidelines of the diploma approved by the Government.”

On the day that the Executive Directorate of the SNS decided that it will not definitively close any maternity hospital in the country, the PCP submitted a request to the parliamentary Health Commission to hear the Minister of Health and Executive Director of the SNS, Manuel Pizarro and Fernando Araújo, respectively, to request clarification on the “lack of professionals in each health entity that integrates the SNS

The PCP also wants to hear from ACT, SEF and Social Security in the Assembly of the Republic about the “fight against exploration and the subhuman conditions” faced by migrants in Alentejo.

In another line, and after a few days also dedicated to mobility in the region, the PCP decided to bring draft resolutions to Parliament in the sense of demanding the “fulfillment of IP8”.

The PCP returns to Alentejo with renewed criticism of the PS and a lot of pressure on Costa
