Costa warns of four difficult years and promises to promote harmony in the country
The socialist general secretary warned this Friday that the next four years will be difficult and demanding, Mario Soares was quoted as calling the PS a “party of national accord” and promising political and social dialogue.
This line of action was laid down by António Costa at the end of a memorable session of the seven-year socialist government under him, which took place at the Terreiro do Paso river station in Lisbon.
“We have four more years ahead of us – and four years that will be difficult and very demanding, when year after year we will have to do what we do today: be responsible, because the Portuguese did not write us a blank check”he said, alluding to the current political framework of PS’s absolute majority.
On the contrary, according to the Prime Minister, the Portuguese attribute PS “a mandate of enormous responsibility – a responsibility that the party must fulfill, assume and translate into results.”.
“We rule by majority, but in 2023 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the PS. We must remember our DNA. There is an expression in our DNA that Mario Soares defined PS: it is the party of national accord. . That is why our majority respects and cooperates in solidarity with other sovereign bodies.”indicated.
António Costa also said that PS “coexists well with regional autonomies and increased decentralization” for municipalities.
“We are not in dialogue with those in the Assembly of the Republic who want to be in dialogue with us, not because we have a majority. That is why, during the 2023 budget process, we approved more opposition proposals than the previous majority. [PSD/CDS] approved in four yearsdefended.
The PS Secretary General referred in this context to the abstention of Livre and PAN from the budget, advocating that “it’s not because they have a deputy” what can be devalued “because parties are not measured by the number of deputies, but by their ability to make positive proposals”.
“In addition to parliamentary dialogue, it is more important than ever, even to build confidence in these uncertain times, to deepen social dialogue.”then pointed Antonio Costa.
The Prime Minister then pointed to the recent agreement on social consultations on income, wages and competitiveness for the next four years.
“We have also reached an agreement with the public service that provides everyone with a multi-year development perspective, guaranteeing an increased career value and a higher income trajectory. It is the PS that wants national harmony and therefore will exercise its majority in dialogue in the Assembly of the Republic and in negotiations with the social partners”he added at an event where he supported a PowerPoint speech with what he described as some of the achievements of socialist governance from 2015 to the present.
Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!
Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.
Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.
The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.
Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.
The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.
Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.
“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
