O secretary-General of the PS, José Luís Carneiro, today praised the President of the Republic's action in relation to the demonstrations for housing and was also available to welcome the protesters, criticizing the aggressiveness and “confrontational language” of the government.
“ Confrontational language has never solved any subject. The language of the President of the Republic is correct. It is a language that seeks to stimulate dialogue, cooperation, the meeting of wishes”, Carneiro replied to journalists on arrival in the new General State.
On Friday, António José Seguro received, in the Palace of Belém, movements for the right to housing represented in the Platform House to Live, having at the end issued a note in which he said he wants to mobilize all actors to solve the crisis.
The leader of the PS said he was also available to receive these movements that have made several protests for housing, some of which resulted in police charges.
“There have been contacts here so that we can be together working on solutions for the future and the proposals are clear. Today I will again talk about some of the clear proposals. Some that I have already presented and others that will be presented today ", replied.
Carneiro said that from the beginning he has defended “an attitude to unscramble the way this whole process was evolving”, considering that dialogue is the way to find solutions.
“ Because we already know that violence generates violence. Confrontational language generates confrontational language ", said.
For the leader of the PS, if there is a desire to find “a common ground” it is possible to respond “to the problems that people face”.
“ I feel that sometimes when people feel insecure, they are incompetent, they react aggressively”, he criticized, in a reference to the government.
