“A drop of 1500 million in the IRS after all only brings additional relief of 200 million” Luis Montenegro presented a tax reduction that is nothing more than a hoax, fraud, lie. “A lie travels around the world before the truth even has the opportunity to get dressed.”, phrase by an unknown author, but this lie by the new prime minister Luis Montenegro, lasted only a few hours, the worst thing is that there were Portuguese, who voted and believed!!! Buddha said: “Three things cannot be hidden for long: the sun, the moon and the truth.” Now it seems to me that the PSD politicians and the new government have “forgotten” this principle or political ethics are not going very well in those parts! It is clear that we have reached a time when citizens want everything at the same time. What we didn't count on was the fact that the Prime Minister had, in Parliament, deceived the Portuguese. “"Politicians must set a constant example of humility, truth, proximity, frugality, independence and service to others" (Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa)” The IRS reduction that Luis Montenegro announced with pomp and circumstance, the tax reduction that went on the electoral campaign to defend it, it is after all false”, he presented a tax reduction that is nothing more than a hoax. We only have one word to describe all of this. FRAUD! The president of the republic Marcelo must explain this situation to Portuguese citizens and Luis Montenegro must immediately submit his resignation. It is situations like this that lead the Portuguese to believe and trust politicians and democracy less and less. “No one pretends that democracy is perfect or without defects. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other forms that have been tried from time to time.” (Winston Churchill) “Scam, fraud and deceit” are adjectives used by Pedro Nuno Santos. The socialist leader considers that “the Portuguese were deceived” and that the head of Government “owes the country an explanation”. https://www.publico.pt/2024/04/12/economia/noticia/nova-reducao-irs-so-rondara-200-milhoes-admite-governo-2086905 “Expresso made a mistake.
