Pedro Nuno says the PS will be an “alternative opposition” and not a “jackboot or crutch”

The Socialist secretary-general assured that the PS will be “an alternative opposition” and not a “jackboot” or “crutch for the government”, considering that the executive has to prove from today that it has “conditions for stable governance”.

“We will not be, as some fear, a blocking opposition, a jackboot opposition. Nor will we be, as some wish, a supportive opposition, the government’s crutch. We will be an alternative opposition, faithful to our electoral program,” emphasized Pedro Nuno Santos at the end of the debate on the Government Program taking place in parliament.

According to the PS leader, “being a government doesn’t just mean having more power”, but also “having more responsibility”, a responsibility that begins, he said, with “managing to build a majority that allows you to govern with stability”.

“Following the election, he understood that, despite his tangential victory and the fragmented parliament that resulted from the elections, he had the conditions to form a government. If it did so, it was certainly because it had confidence in its abilities to guarantee stable governance conditions,” he said.

Pedro Nuno Santos considered that from now on Luís Montenegro’s government “has the opportunity and the responsibility to prove it”.

“And that test will be constant. It won’t end with this debate. On the contrary, that test only really begins today,” he warned.
