Free vs Pan: United in almost everything

Rui Tavares and Inês Sousa Real debated this Tuesday. Asked what separates Pan from Livre, Inês Sousa Real, who was the first to speak, said several proposals from his party that were not accompanied by the free, such as « including young IRS to those who were not covered by the measure, namely because he lived at his parents’ home. »

On the other hand, Rui Tavares stressed that it is more what unites the two parties than they separate them, but also recalled free measures that the PAN did not follow.

« The PAN did not follow the free desire to create Portugal Hydrogens that would prevent auctions from coming to the private, » he said.

About housing

About housing, Rui Tavares argued that it is necessary to “build more houses” and recalled that there is an emergency fund for housing that was negotiated by free, in the state budget of 2024, in which 25% of the real estate transaction seal tax will be assigned to this fund. « 100 million euros a year that are not being used because the government of Luís Montenegro warned several times has not regulated this fund. »

Rui Tavares also argued that a “National Housing Service that will cost a billion euros per year to be funded for a taxation of economic areas that have profited the real estate crisis such as bank and real estate agents”.

Already in this notebook, Inês Sousa Real stated that it is necessary to end with the “non -usual resident regime” that contribute to speculation and inflation.

For the PAN, it is difficult to continue with the « expectation » that, « short term » the housing problem will be mitigated « with construction ».

About the NHS

About health, the leader of Livre says that the NHS “is in unfair competition with the private”, and explained the reason. « When it is not known what are the private salary leaves, this leads to drain NHS human resources and then depress salaries. »

« It is natural to want to want the public to know the private one that the private knows the public, » he said.

In turn, the PAN spokeswoman said it was “fundamental to have not only a bet on the health of proximity to the capture of family doctors”, but go “farther” and “fight solitude”.

On domestic violence

With regard to women’s rights, Sousa Real argued that the crime of violation has to be a public crime and a life pension for the victims. « We ask for more support for the national network that implies the appointment of a lawyer to support in these cases. »

« Combating domestic, sexual and child abuse should be a priority in the next legislature, » he said.

Rui Tavares agrees with his opponent. « When we proposed access to unemployment allowance to victims of domestic violence, it is a practical example of this, to help those who are stuck in this cycle get rid of it through their financial independence. »

In the end, the PAN again defended its proposal to make Mondays without meat, which intends to « reduce the ecological footprint of what we eat through a day without meat. »

According to Sousa Real, « there are several studies that tell us that intensive livestock and choices based on the meat protein alternative are having an environmental impact and for human health. »

Rui Tavares also talked about the reduction to 30 hours of work per week and increasing to 30 vacation days a year.

« When we brought the 4 working day proposal a week, it went very well and Montenegro decided not to continue with this. »
