It is unusual for the budget debate to end when the Government's resignation has been announced and early elections are scheduled. It is politically significant that, both the PS or right-wing parties, advocate the approval of a budget that will not improve the lives of the workers and people, nor will it ensure better public services, nor more fiscal justice (regardless of the sense of their vote in a few minutes), but there are those who will continue to gain and a lot with the options included in it – the capital, hence so much interest in saving it.

Workers demand a fight against the rising cost of living. They demand an increase in wages, the right to housing and healthcare

The State Budget corresponds to an orientation contrary to what these people here demand.

«Just as the PCP warned the absolute majority of the PS brought neither political nor social stability»

Solving the problems of the people and the country, reinforce PCP and CDU

The President's decisions following the government's resignation – to ensure the approval of the proposed State Budget; subsequently dissolve Parliament; and call early elections – cannot be assessed without considering the serious situation affecting the people and the country and the urgent need for a policy that effectively provides solutions.
