In statements to journalists in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Luís Montenegro considered that the requirement made by the PS Secretary-General, José Luís Carneiro, on the revision of the income law is a general political position and not indexed to the position on the State budget.
We are all serious people, says the Prime Minister about the leader of the PS and the demand to drop the deal with the Arri on the law of the lease. Montenegro does not link this request with the approval of the State Budget. As for the European funds, promises to defend the position of Portugal, but says that it does not want a pedicice competition.
Luís Montenegro has admitted that it is concerned with the negotiations of the next budget of the European Union and with the need to ensure what is provided for in the Treaties on cohesion policy, common agricultural policy (CAP) and support for the outermost regions.
The Prime Minister today refused to enter a "pinch competition" on the next EU budget, warning that it will be "intransigent" with cuts in cohesion policy and stressing that Portugal contributes more in proportional terms than the 'frugal' countries.
Prime Minister considered that the requirement made by the secretary-general of the PS, José Luís Carneiro, regarding the revision of the income law "is a general political position and not indexed to the position on the State budget".
