The opinion of Pedro Delgado Alves, which resulted from a request to the President of the Assembly, Eduardo Ferro Rodrigues, will be discussed and voted in the early afternoon in the Constitutional Affairs Committee.
Pedro Delgado Alves concluded that the PSD and CDS-PP project for conducting an external audit of the Banif and CGD does not meet “the procedural and constitutional requirements, the formal and substantial plans for [its] admissibility”.
The vice president of the Socialist benches defended even if it is a breach of the principle of separation of powers, while accepting that an external audit can be done in the context of a decision taken in parliamentary inquiry – here, a door that leaves open to the PSD and CDS-PP initiative.
At the end of the conference leaders, the president of the PSD Parliamentary Group, Luis Montenegro, disagreed with the arguments contained in the opinion.
“The PSD believes even that argument has many weaknesses, whether legal or political. The question here, rather than legal, it is political”, said the Social Democrat parliamentary leader.
For Luis Montenegro, the exercise of enforcement capacity by the Assembly of the Republic “also includes the promotion of these audits.”
“It must be said that audits are not investigations, but rather studies or analyzes that can be made only on the basis of documentation. Now the Parliament is exempt of surveillance capacity in the face of acts of the administration and government is a thesis menoriza starkly that supervisory capacity of the National Assembly, “he said.
Luis Montenegro after the parliamentary left accused of trying to prevent the external audits of financial institutions, “walking to find pretexts and evasions”
“In the beginning of the year, the same terms as of now, the PSD has proposed an external audit of the Banif, which has been scheduled, discussed and then voted on and rejected,” he added the president of the PSD Parliamentary Group.
