Rui Rio has deviated from the Chega coalition scenario several times, but the door remains open for the viability of the SDP minority government, and the Social Democratic Congress president sees no problem.

In the program “Common Home” RenaissancePaulo Mota Pinto brought up the Azores case in which Jose Manuel Boleiro signed an agreement with Chega to make the SDP government viable to say the same could happen after the January 30 legislative elections.

The Social Democratic leader reminds that “in the Azores there is no agreement as deep and extensive as the one with the invention,” adding that “Chega had to choose whether he wanted the PS to continue to work in the government or to make the government viable from PSD “.

It is here that Mota Pinto leaves no doubt about the legislative elections, concluding that the same scenario could be repeated at the national level: “this is what can happen without any agreement.” The Social Democratic leader categorically claims that “the SDP will not pay any political price for this”, in other words, Andre Ventura can make the SDP government viable without a formal agreement on this in the previous newspaper.

In fact, personally with Ventura on SIC, Rui Rio even called on President Chegi to say what he would do if the SDP wins the election without a majority, presents himself in parliament with a government program, and obeys the rejection movement on the left.

In that case, would Ventura allow or reject such a move? Ryo went unanswered, but this is something that the National Social Democratic leadership seems to be committed to, and these statements by Mota Pinto indicate it.

SDP strongly opposes life imprisonment

Paulo Mota Pinto was also asked this Wednesday at the Common House about Rui Rio’s alleged ambiguity regarding the possible return from Chega’s proposed life sentence in Portugal. Now the chairman of the party table in Congress guarantees that “the political position of the SDP is in complete, direct and absolute rejection of the introduction of life imprisonment.”

If Rio insisted on comparative law and spoke of a German example in which this figure exists, but can be changed after a certain period of serving a prison sentence, Mota Pinto, a prominent lawyer from Coimbra who was already in the Constitutional Court, he is convinced that “in Portuguese law is unnecessary [uma vez que] Portugal is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. ”

Incidentally, this is the argument used by the PS leaders to shoot the PSD leader, with Mota Pinto admitting that this is a problem “which has only been brought to the political table by radical movements.”

Mota Pinto advocates for Rio, arguing that the SDP leader “did not distinguish between multiple models and did not accept any of the models allowing for life imprisonment,” criticizing the “deplorable maneuver of the Socialist Party to distort the public tearing of their robes by fanning this proposal as if would PSD and Rui Rio allow a life sentence revision. ”

To dispel doubts, the Social Democratic leader and lawyer sends the case and guarantees that “this is the clear position of the SDP, as well as my personal position.”
