The head of PSD stated that the economic results by 2024 exceeded expectations and contradicted the socialist thesis that the current executive authority will have a program that cannot be achieved and spoils national public accounts.
Monnegro in Lewis spoke at the opening of the National Council of the PSD program, in a speech, in addition to attacking PS, who also delivered a decisive signal to “other financial ideologies” – it is supposed to be Banco de Portugal – which has moved to the similar perspective in the alleged negative impact of the government scale for 11 months.
In the first part of its intervention, which was mainly dedicated to analyzing the latest data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) on the development of the Portuguese economy last year, the Prime Minister also suggested that if the government had expected this high growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, by 2.9 % in terms of homogeneous conditions, it may be “more income” for more workers for citizens.
In the face of the national advisers in the Public Security Directorate, the Black Montenegrocer began to salute the PSD victory in the recent regional elections in Madeira, “to end a course of political instability that was embodied through a mixture of the efforts of the opposition parties, especially PS and the arrival – the party that wanted to avoid the natural implementation of the program that was disagreeing in the two sewers.”
After that, he referred to the latest INE indicators on the results of the Portuguese economy in 2024.
“Despite the taxes, in particular, the Tax Authority, we attributed an extraordinary attachment to retirees in the range of 400 million euros, after we started to update the jobs of various sectors of the public administration, we were able to overcome all these estimates by overcoming all these estimates, concluded through the ruling, concluded them. The main opposition party said.
In this context, Louis Montenegro indicated that PS said that the government “will destroy everything that was done in public accounts in Portugal.”
“I am not even talking about other financial cases in the country, which also had a pessimistic vision of the influence that our decisions could make in the economic and financial reality of the country,” he added here, in a sign that it was understood as addressed to Banco de Portugal.
Contrary to what these cases and PS expected, according to the President of PSD, “The economy grew more than supposed, the financial result was better than supposed, the tax burden, the tax burden decreased, and public investment and public debt rose more than expected.”
“Who does not remember the accusation that made us: But is it promising what they cannot fulfill? Where will they search for money to reduce a lot of taxes and implement a lot of investment? Will it make the balanced public accounts? But it was possible with rigor and efficiency, with the ability to implement, with the meaning of balance and social justice,” motivated. “
In this context, the Prime Minister left a message that the government could have gone further in its strategy of re -income if it expected that the development of the economy would be very positive.
He said: “The fourth quarter of 2024 was much better than it was estimated. If we can expect the fourth quarter, we still have more, because this is our principle. Our principle is balance.”
On the other hand, the Prime Minister and the President of PSD accused the previous governments of PS of “punishing people” of compliance with the external financial obligations of Portugal.
“We do not want unbalanced public accounts, but we want the good performance of the economy to be reflected in the welfare of people,” he added.
