The leader of the PS/Azores, Francisco César, yesterday welcomed “the backtracking” by the Government’s president regarding the “ridiculous idea of discriminating against children of unemployed parents when it comes to access to daycare centers, as well as the misguided idea of placing RIAC (government subsidized service centers) stores in unfair competition with the private sector to cover the announced closure of SATA stores.”
In a note published on social media, Francisco César suggests that “since you have followed the good advice of the PS—and rightly so—follow one more: have the many overdue payments paid as soon as possible, from the support lines from COVID to the various supports to cooperatives, companies, IPSS’s, and patients awaiting reimbursements.”
The PS/Azores leader explains that “when we talk about and see the increase in debt and the mismanagement of public accounts, we see that there are consequences for people and the economy: not paying what is owed! What’s more, there’s no work to be seen from this government,” concluded Francisco César.
