"It was better than nothing"

"The PSD makes proposals that protect the interests of Madeira no matter where they come from." A guarantee left to the DAILY by the vice-president of the government who spent the day yesterday in Lisbon. Between meetings and votes in the specialty of the state budget, Pedro Calado articulated with the deputies of Madeira in São Bento the best positioning, being content with the options for the "least heavy proposals" independently of the suggestion and the presentation presented by other parties, case BE compared to the new hospital. But also the CDS.

Yesterday, PSD deputies said that they had done everything "to ensure that Madeira would not be completely embarrassed by the violation of the interest on the debt, taking into account all the amendments proposed the day before in this case". That is to say that, faced with a "systematic and unreserved attack and a dominant attitude of the PS, the BE and the PCP (including the deputies of Madeira) – against the equitable claims of Madeira and for the defense of Madeira's interests, the PSD which presented the proposal that best defends the interests of Madeira Madeira and Porto Santo, decided to support the draft amendment CDS-PP in order to allow the approval of certain budgetary perspectives relating to interest payments under the economic and financial assistance program for the region. "

For Pedro Calado, the result obtained was "better than nothing", underlining that the great plan of the PSD to always defend Madeira, even if it was to vote on other proposals, was respected. It should be noted that the position of the PS was very different from that of Madeira not to have submitted a single proposal, which is considered "ridiculous".
