José Gomes Ferreira said this Saturday that the presence of António Costa in the honor committee of Luís Filipe Vieira’s candidacy is “very serious”.
In SIC Notícias’ Jornal da Manhã, he stated that the Portuguese have to be indignant at this type of thing and that the situation is even more serious than when Galp offered tickets for Euro 2016 to deputies.
“We must all have the capacity to be indignant at these things again”
José Gomes Ferreira recalled Luís Filipe Vieira’s connection to Novo Banco:
“He (Luís Filipe Vieira) owed more than 700 million euros to the bank and to Novo Banco alone, in 2018, 225 million were erased from the bank’s accounts. And who paid this money to Novo Banco? Portuguese “
In light of this, he highlighted the fact that António Costa criticized the bank’s practices and Minister Mário Centeno for having approved a new injection. “These holes have to be paid by us.”
He also said that it is very serious for a Prime Minister to associate himself with a candidate who appears in legal proceedings, such as Operation Lex.
