Miguel Albuquerque has already been nominated to form the XV Regional Government and is expected to present his team to Ireneu Barreto next Monday, at 5 pm.
After the audience with the Representative of the Republic, the PSD-M leader was asked how he will guarantee the survival of a minority government.
Albuquerque assures that a lot of dialogue will be necessary and admits to including, in the program and budget, proposals that are common to several parties, such as tax reduction or the review of the regional finance law. A regional budget that must be approved by the end of July, before the parliamentary holidays.
“The government will govern in parliamentary dialogue and is open to adopting some measures that are in line with our program”, he stated.
What he doesn’t accept is entering into negotiations of “bacalhau a pataco” type proposals just to please.
Regarding the legal process in which he is accused, he minimises the issue and says that it is in the investigation phase.
The next government should not be very different from the current one. An Executive that, he hopes, will be for four years.
“I don’t make provisional governments, I make governments for a four-year legislature”, he concludes.
