Montenegro puts pressure on the police (“not a cent more”) and rejects the desire for early elections

“Not one more cent†for the police beyond what was promised is the phrase that remains in the ears of the PSD deputies who received Luís Montenegro with applause this morning in Sintra, but it is not the only one with political weight for the coming weeks and months. The Prime Minister ended the PSD’s parliamentary days as leader of the party, albeit with a speech made as head of Government and full of warnings.

Some went to political commentators and journalists, several to the opposition, and even one more directly to the security forces, a professional group with whom the Government has negotiated an increase in the mission supplement. o (unsuccessfully). “We are available to agree on the agreement, not on the values†, warned Montenegro, because the Government has already made “a terrible effort†and “will not put in another cent†. Phrase delivered on the eve of the issue going to the plenary of the Assembly of the Republic at the hands of Chega and after André Ventura had called for a mobilization of police officers to Parliament as a way of putting pressure on the Government .
