Vice do Chega wants ″ to eradicate PCP ″ from Portugal
The militants of Chega met this Friday until 2.15 am on the first day of the IV National Congress, in Viseu, to regularize documents considered illegal by the Constitutional Court. One of the evening’s speeches was by Vice President Pedro Santos Frazão, who wants to “eradicate the PCP” from Portugal.
For Pedro Santos Frazão, vice-president of the National Direction of Chega, one of the electoral objectives is to end with the parliamentary representation of the communists: “We really have to continue fighting with all our molds to remove the PCP as well. The Portuguese understand that, once and for all, we have to eradicate PCP from our country, from the islands, from the Continent, from the North to the South”.
Taking the example of the Regional Parliament of the Azores, in which the PCP is no longer represented, the vice-president of Chega defined the objective of “exterminating communism in mainland Portugal”.
On another front, Diogo Pacheco de Amorim addressed the possibility of parliamentary treatment agreements after the legislative changes of January 30, with which he disagrees: “A parliamentary incidence agreement is a trap. On the one hand, the majority party will go whistling to the side, if we don’t comply with the demands, we lose the electorate, if we make demands we are accused of destabilizing”.
On a night when the PSD was the main target of criticism, the assistant secretary general, Pedro Pinto, wished that it was Paulo Rangel to win the direct changes taking place this Saturday to elect the leader of the Social Democrats: “I would like that Paulo Rangel earn the advantages, honestly. I wanted to see what he was going to do to the Regional Government of the Azores”.
The assistant secretary general reminded congressmen that Chega “has the opportunity to make history”, but internal struggles could affect the election result of January 30: “That we are not the ones to boycott this growth”.
Voting on documents and acts considered illegal by the Constitutional Court took two hours, with little discussion. Internal sympathy was barely heard and the most tense moment of the night was played by Joana Guimarães, national councilor and vice president of the District of Porto, who disagreed with the fact that there were motions of recommendation. He also entered into a dialogue with Secretary General Tiago Sousa Dias, but the discussion was quickly resolved.
The IV National Congress of Chega takes place until Sunday at Expocenter in Viseu. This Saturday they are voted on as statutory motions and as congressional recommendation motions.
