PS claims victory in reducing IRS 1500 million this year; AD dramatizes and talks about “attack on the middle class” with Chega

In this morning’s vote in Parliament, more than the value of the IRS reduction, the paternity of the measure and the political discourse that the various parties will make in full campaign for the European elections were at stake. The PS won the battle to lower the tax, with the support of the left and the IL and the abstention of Chega, thus inflicting a defeat on the AD in the first bill it presented in the Assembly of the Republic. The result was promptly taken advantage of by both sides: the socialists complain that the global reduction this year of 1500 million euros “was entirely the responsibility of the PS†and the PSD accused the socialists of “collusion†with the He arrives,

The debate and voting were confusing and resulted in the AD’s proposal being rejected, despite having votes in favor of IL and Chega’s abstention, and that of PS being approved, counting exactly on the same voting direction of these two parties. In other words, the majority on the left (the one that joined IL) is numerically greater (99) than AD (88).

The political discourse from here on was simple for both sides.
