There are no possible explanations you can give for the cases involving you that would justify the unjustifiable and the only thing you should have done was resign.

But no, what you are doing is trying to evade the incompatibility between your private interests and the public duties you hold and take the Country to elections to try to shake off your responsibilities.

You will not accept your mistake, and, in a headlong rush forward, you are tabling this victimisation motion.

You want at all costs to save your image and the continuity of your policy at the service of the interests and agenda of the economic groups.

That's what's at stake and that's what justifies the voices that have been repeated over the last few days which, in the name of the stability of horse-trading, favours, profits and the concentration of wealth, always forget the stability of the lives of those who make the country work with their labour.

How do you think the people, those who work and have worked all their lives, judge this?

Capital calls the shots, your government puts it into practice, Chega and IL support and the PS lends you a hand to the end.

Your government and its policies do not solve the problems of life and the Country, and today they are a source for discrediting national political life.

The PCP refuses any part in this authentic soap opera of blame passing, shadow games and manoeuvres, where everything seems to matter except people's lives.

Mr. Prime Minister,

Your motion is a declaration of confidence in the economic groups and their gathering of profits, and its rejection by the PCP is a clear rejection of the regression and attack on the rights and lives of working people.

Above all, it is a sign of hope and mobilisation for a different policy, one that tackles the rising cost of living, demands more wages and pensions, values public schools, defends the NHS and Social Security, guarantees housing, workers' rights, children's and parents' rights, promotes national production, sovereignty, Peace and the fight against militarism.

This is our confrontation.

The confrontation between the interests that you Mr. Prime Minister and your policy serve and the determination and confidence in a more developed and sovereign Country - this is path that the PCP follows.

There are decent people capable of pursuing a policy that upholds national interests and places the workers, the people and the youth at the centre of its action.
