“Bwe will stick to this cause that is social justice, it is a question of dignity, it is a question of humanity and I appeal to the Prime Minister not to make this a stubborn, do not make this a party dispute, but make it a theme of importance for people's lives because maybe it has been misadvised ", replied José Luís Carneiro to journalists, on the margins of the celebrations of 40 years of the master's degree in African Studies of the Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences (ISCSP), in Lisbon, where he made an intervention.
The secretary-general of the PS answered questions from journalists about the revision of the urban lease law, a subject for which he had already demanded, in the celebrations of October 5, that Louis Montenegro drop the agreement with the Aquira.
José Luís Carneiro challenged the government to put its hand on conscience and realize “that the proposal he has presented has serious problems for those who need to have an answer with housing at this time”.
“ No wonder the inhumanity of the Enough is always ready to get ahead, but then realizing the polls that there is a twist in the understanding of public opinion, changes position. Now, the Prime Minister who does not get carried away by this mermaid charm, has to look at what really matters to people ", asked.
According to the leader of the PS, when this proposal has been discussed in the specialty, the PS will seek to “contribute to limit the negative effects of the one that is the path that the Government, AD and Aquis are trying to do”.
“ That is a path that, as with labor legislation, goes against the interests of people, particularly those who have less power ", criticized.
For the leader of the PS there is no “other democratic instrument other than in Parliament”, where the PS promises to fight for its ideas now in the specialty.
Last week, when the proposal for legislative authorization of the Government to revise the urban lease regime was approved in general, thanks to the abstention of the Aquida, the PS saw its bill fail to create the public guarantee of security in the housing lease.
