Costa is responsible for the serious political crisis in Portugal - no agreements on the left, three different documents, No joint signature of a single compromise, no joint commitments

The leader of the CDS-PP said today, Friday, 

that it is up to the President to verify the sustainability of the "negative project" 

of the parliamentary left-wing parties 

and stressed that the presidential power to nominate a prime minister

 is "free and not sindicatable".

"It is incumbent upon the President of the Republic 

to verify the sustainability of this mere negative project, 

where it seems that the socialist leader hasn't presented what he said he would 

nor what he promised to be, 

nor does it seem that the stated requirements 

of the President of the Republic have been satisfied," 

said the leader of the CDS-PP, Paulo Portas, 

in a statement to reporters at the end of an audience with the President.

Stressing that the CDS-PP would respect the decision of the Head of State - 

"whether we agree or disagree" - 

Paulo Portas recalled that Portugal has a semi-presidential regime 

and the power to nominate a prime minister 

is a "free and not sindicated power" by the Head of State.

"The Head of State in Portugal has its own legitimacy, 

in that it is directly elected by the people, are therefore, 

any retrenchment attempts to diminish the powers of the Head of State´s position, 

would not be acceptable, whoever he may be, 

because our system is semi-presidential 

and this power in concrete is a free power and not sindicated", 

he said in a statement without the right of questions.

Paulo Portas began by classifying the current political situation as "serious", 

noting that in just over a month, the country has witnessed

 a "breach of the principle that whoever wins the elections, rules, 

a breach of the principle of the rule 

that those who have more deputies presides in parliament, 

infringement of the practice of not rejecting 

a newly elected government program 

or a coalition that have won the elections."

Portas blamed the PS by assigning the socialists 

with the responsibility for the "manifested degradation of the political situation", 

Paulo Portas insisted that "any government proposed on this basis 

can be mathematically feasible, may be formally constitutional, 

but will always be politically illegitimate".

"What the Socialists aim to do is, 

to only replace a relative majority that won the elections, 

by a relative minority government who lost the elections," 

he said, considering that until now António Costa has been unable to present 

a "stable and solid governance project."

"It would be quite revealing to consult the documents endorsed by the PS 

with the parties on its left, 

to conclude that there is no coalition, 

there is no agreement, 

there are three different documents, 

neither party is committed to the same causes 

and that there isn´t even a joint signature of compromise, 

which does not announce anything good," 

he claimed, 

still referring to the absence of commitments 

on the State Budget, the Fiscal Treaty, 

the Stability Program or the European Semester.

The President of the Republic, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, 

spent this Friday in consultation with the seven parties 

represented in the parliament, 

10 days after the adoption of a motion of rejection 

of the elected minority Government's program. 

The approval of the document, 

with the vote of the entire parliamentary opposition, 

led to the resignation of the coalition executive PSD / CDS-PP, 

led by Pedro Passos Coelho.

The deputies aren't elected by the People. 

They are appointed by their parties to whom they swear alligiance,

so where is the democracy?

If a party imposes voting discipline to its deputies, 

it is a plain common dictatorship, 

anti-democratic, 

because these deputies are mere pawns in the hands of the party leaders.

They don't represent the People, 

they only represent the party to whom they are faithfully loyal 

and  like puppets in the hand of the masters are manipulated 

and controlled.

The People elected Pedro Passo Coelho as their Prime Minister, 

he was indicted by the President of the Republic, 

but his governance programme was rejected in block by the radical 

left-wing socialist-marxist-leninist bloc formed by the negative force within.

António Costa is the puppet master trying to pull the strings, 

but even so, he couldn't even manage to get 

the marxists and the leninists into the same room

to sign a joint statement.

So eventually he ended up with THREE different agreements, 

conflicting between each other.

If Costa calls these THREE agreements, 

STABILITY, 

then I would prefer 

NOT TO KNOW WHAT UNSTABILITY LOOKS LIKE!!
