Marcelo in Paris with Macron to inaugurate the “Portugal-France 2022 Season” — DNOTICIAS.PT
Macron is scheduled to travel to Paris, between the 1st and 12th of this month, for the inauguration of the “Portugal-France 2022 Season”, with the French President.
In the request for authorization for this trip, made in January, available on the official website of the Assembly of the Republic on the Internet, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa says that he will go to Paris to inaugurate this cultural exchange program “with President Macron”.
The Assembly of the Republic will also vote on another request by the President of the Republic to travel “to Reykjavik and The Hague, between February 20, in order to highlight a national force and the exhibition of the painter Paula Rego”.
The national force that stands out in Iceland is composed of 85 soldiers from the Portuguese Air Force and four F-16M aircraft, which started this month to participate in a NATO mission, lasting two months, until March 30.
The assent of the Assembly of the Republic to the travels of the head of state is a formality defined by the Constitution of the Republic, which establishes that the President of the Republic cannot be used nationally in the territory without authorization from the parliament.
In January of this year, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa had planned to go to Dubai, for Expo 2020, and Mozambique, but he ended up not making either of these two trips, which he justified with “pandemic circumstances a little everywhere” at that time. .
