The Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, stated this Sunday, November 23, that “the PS misses” minister Miguel Pinto Luz and that he will go to parliament, “with pleasure, to provide all the clarifications” about TAP.
The socialists announced that they were going to call minister Pinto Luz to parliament to clarify whether he is capable of overseeing the TAP privatization process and question the prime minister whether this member of his Government is capable of continuing.
These two political initiatives were announced by the parliamentary leader of the PS, Eurico Brilhante Dias, shortly after the period for the presentation of expressions of interest by aviation groups that could compete in the TAP privatization process had ended.
“I don’t know what’s new, honestly, I don’t even know how many times Minister Pinto Luz has gone to parliament to talk about this, but if he has to go one more time, he’ll go one more time. I believe that the Socialist Party has been making this type of statement for 10 years and since engineer Pinto Luz has been Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, he has been questioned on many different occasions, a few weeks ago in parliament, and also about this dossier”reacted the prime minister, in Luanda, as part of a visit to Angola, before the European Union-African Union Summit.
“The Socialist Party already misses engineer Pinto Luz, it wants to hear from him again, engineer Pinto Luz will certainly go to parliament, with pleasure, to provide all the clarifications about the TAP privatization process”, added Luís Montenegro.
