Política Mário Centeno
Chega's request to hear Mário Centeno on the operational results of the banking regulator was approved with the abstention of Livre and the favorable votes of all other parties, at the parliamentary committee meeting.
The issue is news reported in the media about the operational results of the Bank of Portugal, namely the information published by Jornal de Negócios, on April 11, that the institution recorded a negative operating result, before taxes, of 1,054 million euros, and a zero net result in 2023.
Chega intends, in this sequence, to question Mário Centeno about what "measures he took to mitigate the potential losses already foreseen, and taking into account the reports of other European and world central banks" and "what measures should have already been taken or what he intends to implement" in this regard.
The banking regulator will only officially present the accounts on May 16, but the Minister of Finance admitted to being "surprised" by the news, despite the fact that the governor of the Bank of Portugal had been pointing out for some time that the central bank - like the other central banks in Europe - would no longer have positive results, due to the tightening of monetary policy.
In another request, submitted by Chega in November of last year and in the meantime rejected, the party asked to hear Mário Centeno, after the then outgoing prime minister António Costa revealed that he had proposed the name of the governor of the Bank of Portugal to the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, to replace him in office. The Ethics Committee of the European Central Bank (ECB) concluded that the governor of the Bank of Portugal did not act in a way that compromised his independence in the case of the invitation made by António Costa to replace him.
Mário Centeno emphasized, at the end of April, that Europe is facing "a great sacrifice in the fight against inflation", making a greater effort than other jurisdictions to reach the target of 2%.
