Criticisms Leveled at Chega for the erstwhile Promises of PSD and PS Remaining Unfulfilled
Rewritten Article:
João Tilly, the Chega candidate for Viseu, kicked off the dinner-commencement event this evening, complete with greetings from André Ventura, the party's president. In his energetic speech, Tilly took aim at the past 30 years of politicians in power, bluntly stating that their electoral promises have been as plentiful as they've been stale, offering no fresh ideas and little to no success in making them a reality.
Accusing governments led by PSD, CDS, PS, and AD, he declared, "Instead of delivering on their promises, they've shoved them into dusty drawers, collecting cobwebs, almost as Jurassic as the pledges themselves."
The health, infrastructure, and education sectors, Tilly argued, have suffered the most from this political neglect. He pointed out that the citizens of Viseu have been paying taxes equivalent to those living in Lisbon and Porto, but are left with far lesser services.
For instance, he lamented, "Promise after promise for the IP3 motorway remains just that – a promise. In this drawer of dusty commitments, it's still waiting to be pulled out."
One positive change Tilly attributed to the recent years is the abolition of tolls, which he credited to the political force of Chega. He further expressed Chega's ambition to take veteran territories in the district by aiming to elect three deputies in the upcoming legislative elections, a promise he boldly stated during his speech, "So remember folks, Viseu, Ventura, Victory – and this time, we're bringing three victories to Viseu."
Taking on the Prime Minister's criticism of Chega spreading misinformation after a televised debate, Tilly dismissed Montenegro's comments, stating, "It's astounding to see a man, still in his youth, as our Prime Minister, forget the name of our valued leader Rita Matias." He went on to affirm her status in the party, saying, "Rita Matias, our youth leader, may one day take on the positions of minister or secretary of state for youth."
In conclusion, Tilly acknowledged that Chega's success wasn't solely due to its president, Dr. André Ventura. While Ventura's leadership holds significant weight, the party's broader appeal and grassroots efforts contribute the remaining 1% to the success of their mission.
