Two weeks after the liberal initiative and two hours after receiving the President of the Republic, Luis Montenegro, with the health situation on the agenda, Chega also announced that he wanted to be received by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa “as a matter of urgency” to discuss the recent “deterioration in the National Health Service.” To bring the head of state even more into the center of the debate, André Ventura will invite him to participate in the party’s parliamentary days, on December 5 and 6, devoted exclusively to the topic of health.
Speaking to reporters in Parliament, Ventura said that “it is important that all parties that realize that there may be an alternative to the Socialist Party government to the President of the Republic express their concerns about the deterioration” of health services. “We need another model of health management and the government has not been able to implement it. Only the president can (…) exert pressure that must be applied to ensure that the Syrian National Party does not fall into absolute chaos,” the Shiga leader explained, adding that the words of the party’s executive director The progressive national of PÚBLICO, November will be the most complicated ever, “they deserve a clear condemnation and a red card from the president.”
Ventura described, saying: “We call on the President of the Republic to intervene in the way and how to understand the Shiga Days (…) and to speak to all representatives specifically on the issue of health and building a new model in health.” That their deputies from the autonomous regions will also be recalled.
“The president is the only political actor who can, at this moment, show the government that the path it is following is dangerous and harmful,” Ventura said, calling on Marcelo to stop being a president with “specific tasks” and become a president with limited powers. “Assumed functions.”
Andre Ventura also stated that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa’s issuance of the decree on the complete dedication of doctors was a “bad sign”, and added: “We hope that this will pave the way and show that the responsibility for the situation we face in the field of health lies with us.” He pointed to Antonio Costa.
Asked by PÚBLICO whether this contradicts the principle of full dedication of doctors, the deputy and leader of Chiga did not respond directly, but criticized the fact that the diploma is evaluated by doctors and everyone, “from the unions to the president.” After he said that it did not solve the problems and was wrong in terms of organizational principles.” Therefore, the President should have objected to the diploma. Therefore, Chiga must request consideration in Parliament.
In response to a question about the challenge left by Luis Montenegro after leaving the meeting with Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa on a health pact involving government, parties, public, private and social sectors – Rui Rio made a similar challenge to justice but did not reach a conclusion – Ventura said that Chiga had already proposed this a year ago and that The Social Democratic Party is only doing this now because it is losing popularity in the opinion polls.
