Noting that “the atmosphere is very tense,” the leader of the far-right party stressed that “no one wants to see situations in parliament, as we have seen in other countries of the world, in which there are deputies quarreling with each other, almost to the very hilt in the chamber.”
“Everything happens because the atmosphere inside the semi-cycle, where political energy was supposed to be dissipated, is stuffy and limited by the chairman of the Assembly of the Republic,” he said.
In Chega’s opinion, “the only figure who can get the attention of Augusto Santos Silva is Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa” and the head of state should “ensure the serenity of the environment” by asking for his intervention.
At the meeting, which lasted about 45 minutes and which Andre Ventura was attended by the leadership of the parliamentary group, Chega asked to discuss with the head of state how the President of the Assembly of the Republic conducts parliamentary work. .
President Chegi also stated that he had a “feeling” that the President of the Republic was “receptive to the arguments” he heard, “regardless of the actions he might take”, and that “he was sensitive to the situation in the country”. an absolute majority and a possible gag on the democracy the country faces”, as well as “arguments about the constant curtailment of freedom”.
