BE accuses Montenegro of being the “father of despair and marked poverty”

“ Lwith his inaction, with his refusal to take courageous steps to support the families who have the least, Montenegro is being the father of despair, he is being the father of marked poverty,” said José Manuel Pureza, in statements to Lusa.

This morning, the Prime Minister said that he was not going to be the “father of austerity”, having the bloquist leader advised Luís Montenegro to, “with humility, recognize that this is the time to have different gestures from what ideological dogma tells him to do”.

“ He is stubbornly faithful to his liberal ideology and is not, therefore, meeting the needs of people”, he criticized.

Purity concluded from the last statements of the chief executive that he will “tear to the end in doing nothing about what people need most.”.

“ He said it in the form of ‘we have to have right accounts’, but in fact the accounts of families are less and less right. Paying the supermarket, the pharmacy, the home income with a salary or a low pension, increasingly low, is condemning people to have uncertain accounts ", condemned.

For the former BE Member, all people “with a distressed life” know that the “bonus to pensioners and the small declines in the IRS are crumbs, are alms, which in the meantime have been swallowed up by the rise in interest by the European Central Bank, by constant rises in fuel”.

The coordinator of BE, who participated this afternoon in a conversation with the MEP and former leader of BE, Catarina Martins, on the right to housing in Porto, considered that the housing crisis “is too old a crisis for so many people”.

“ It is a crisis too old for so many people, that has so much difficulty in paying the rent of the house, in paying the provision of the bank, the loan of the bank for the purchase of housing and, on this, the Prime Minister, the government, say nothing strictly ", condemned.

Warning that “the affliction will continue” with the rises of the Euribor rate, Purez recalled a proposal with which BE already advanced at the end of August.

“Our proposal is very simple. With interest on loans rising, the General Deposit Box must lower its profit margin to that exact extent”, he summarised.

According to the coordinator of BE, the Box “can do it and, by doing so, will not lose”.

“ It will earn less, it is certain, but it will force the entire banking system to go in the same direction ", explained.
