Nós estamos a discutir o Estado da Nação, a discutir a vida das pessoas, a vida difícil, a realidade concreta e permita-me Sr. Presidente esta observação àqueles que estão a trabalhar a esta hora, a pôr o País a funcionar, a produzir, a criar a riqueza, a pôr a economia a funcionar com vidas difíceis terem de assistir a um triste espectáculo como aquele que assistimos aqui há pouco é tudo menos contribuir para resolver a vida das pessoas. 

Em que estado está a nação quando grávidas e crianças, se deparam com serviços de saúde e urgências fechadas?

Em que estado está a nação quando faltam médicos, enfermeiros, técnicos e outros profissionais no Serviço Nacional de Saúde, e o seu governo não toma uma única medida estrutural para resolver este problema.

E, não vale vir dissertar sobre o que está aberto, o que se lhe exige é resolver a situação no Barreiro, Setúbal, Almada, Vila Franca de Xira, da zona Oeste, Chaves e tantos outros locais.  

Sr. primeiro-ministro a vida das pessoas e o país real passa ao lado da bolha onde vive.  

Para si cada problema é uma oportunidade para servir os grupos económicos e as multinacionais.

Por cada serviço do SNS que encerra ou limita, é mais um negócio da doença à custa dos nossos bolsos.

Quer privatizar a TAP, permitir a venda do BES / Novo Banco, um crime pelo qual nem pestanejou perante os mais de seis mil milhões de euros de prejuízos para o País.

Tem saudades dos tempos da troika, quer ainda mais precariedade, mais horas e mais tempo de trabalho, mais ataques aos direitos dos trabalhadores, quer abrir caminho ao assalto à segurança social.

Acusa outros de arrogância, mas foi o Sr. primeiro-ministro que ontem mesmo desprezou as dificuldades dos pequenos viticultores do Douro assim como o já tinha feito com investigadores, bolseiros e cientistas.

A sua propaganda e os muitos meios ao seu dispor, não apagam a realidade: a vida está difícil o país está preso por arames. 

É o custo de vida que aumenta, é assim nos alimentos, na energia, nos medicamentos. 

We are discussing the State of the Nation, we are discussing people's lives, their difficult lives, their concrete reality, and allow me, Mr Chairman, to say that those who are working at this hour, getting the country up and running, producing, creating wealth, getting the economy up and running with difficult lives, have to watch a sad spectacle like the one we have just witnessed, doing nothing to help resolve people's lives.

What State is the Nation in when pregnant women and children are faced with closed healthcare services and emergencies?

What State is the Nation in when there is a shortage of doctors, nurses, technicians and other professionals in the National Health Service, and the government doesn't take a single structural measure to solve this problem?

And there's no point in going on about what is open, what is needed is to resolve the situation in Barreiro, Setúbal, Almada, Vila Franca de Xira, the Western Zone, Chaves and so many other places.

Mr Prime Minister, people's lives and the real country are outside the bubble where you live.

For you, every problem is an opportunity to serve economic groups and multinationals.

For every NHS service that is closed or has restrictions, it is just another bonus for the disease business at the expense of our pockets.

You want to privatise TAP, allow the sale of BES/Novo Banco, a crime against which you haven’t even blinked at the more than six billion euros in losses for the country.

You are nostalgic for the times of the troika, want even more precariousness, longer working hours, more attacks on workers' rights, and want to pave the way for the assault on social security.

You accuse others of arrogance, but it was the Prime Minister who, just yesterday, disregarded the difficulties of the small wine growers in the Douro, just as he has done with researchers, scholarship holders and scientists.

Your propaganda and the many means at your disposal do not erase the reality: life is difficult, and the country is hanging by a thread.

It's the rising cost of living, of food, energy and medicines.

It's the social drama of access to housing, the inhumane evictions that go on and on, as we've seen this week.

It's a school year that's about to start without vacancies in nurseries and pre-schooling and without the needed teachers.

It's the low wages, precariousness, pensions that aren't enough, a difficult life for the majority, while others think they are owed everything and whom your policies serve, and in what a way.

For them, there is a binge, support, favours, benefits, concentration of wealth and transfers to tax havens.

Not a word about this from your government or those who favour its policy.

Its strategy is clear, it’s in a hurry and with an arrogance that will blow up in its hands.

Using the far right as a can opener.

The far right paves the way and your government puts it into practice, a choice that I'm sure embarrasses many people even in your party.

They divide up the tasks, feign a few tiffs when necessary, and in the end they all serve the same financiers.

This is a path that does not respond to the Country's needs, it is a path that does not respond to the reality of life and the difficulties of those who live here and work here and it is a path that we will not accept and we will fight against and we are sure that the people, the workers and in particular the youth will once again make a break with these policies and with this path.
