Antonio Costa directed these criticisms in statements to reporters at ISCTE, in Lisbon, after being questioned about the internal situation existing in the liberal initiative after announcing that MP Joao Cutrim Figueiredo would leave the leadership of this party.
For the Prime Minister, the departure of João Quetrem Figueiredo is “normal” in light of the current status of the liberal initiative.
“The liberal initiative, as we have already seen, has decided to compete with Shiga in the style of calm and poor democratic education because it interferes with the public debate. I know him well, and I confess that he does not feel well, it was the strategy of the choice made by the liberal initiative, and I do not know why, the right The Democrat in Portugal is intrigued by the Chega,” he noted.
According to the leader of the executive branch, the Democratic Right “instead of separating itself from the Shiga to assert its identity, has a whirlwind of normalization and living with the Shiga and the Shiga tradition.”
“They should look at Italy and see what happens when the democratic right parties begin to normalize the far right. And when that happens, they end up leading the far right. So, good future.” [para os partidos da direita democrática] It was announced here on a sarcastic note.
Antonio Costa also referred to the performance of liberal Liz Truss as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
“Within four days, it devalued sterling and forced the Bank of England to raise rates extraordinarily and go to the rescue of four or five private pension funds. She herself ended up being expelled by her own party. Liberals are very embarrassed today with this spectacle, in a show My work for what IL can govern in Portugal.”
Within 44 days, in the UK, in the prime minister’s view, “two myths of the liberal initiative were destroyed: the myth of the financial shock, which was a tragedy for the pound and the UK’s external credibility, and the myth of a social security system based on private money to be replaced in the first scourge of money.” The year the Bank of England pumps in.”
For Antonio Costa, the recent situation in the United Kingdom, with the fall of Liz Truss, for the liberal initiative represented what “the communists felt with the fall of the Berlin Wall”.
In front of reporters, Antonio Costa declined to comment on the praise given by the head of state, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, to his predecessor in office, Pedro Passos Coelho, saying it was wise to “never speak up and respect” who preceded the prime minister’s post.
“At your age, I’m sure [Pedro Passos Coelho] He still has a lot to offer the country. We don’t just give to the country when we’re in a political position – and I say with ease knowing that Dr. Passos Coelho and I rarely share the same view as to what’s best for the country,” he added.
