In a democracy, the investiture of the Assembly of the Republic is an important moment and one that cannot ignore life out there
3 June 2025
Greetings Mr. President. The duties you are assuming once again are of enormous importance to the proper functioning of the Assembly of the Republic, as a sovereign body that must focus its attention on what really matters to the people, responding to their wishes and aspirations, for a Country of development and progress. There can be no room for offence, insult, discrimination or hate.
We will intervene as always, openly, honestly and seriously at institutional level and in the political debate. With firmness and combativeness in the confrontation between political projects.
