The Minister of Environment stated that the Government "does not have time" to engage in "major discussions" about the criticisms made by Passos Coelho, considering that the Executive is focused on solving problems that have accumulated since 2011. The statement comes in the context of a debate about previous government management.
The minister argues that there are pending issues that have been around for approximately 15 years that need practical resolution, rather than prolonged debates about past responsibilities. The current Executive intends to focus on governmental action and solving the identified problems.
The issue arises at a time when environmental policies and resource management of the country are being discussed, areas that fall under the responsibility of the Minister of Environment. The Government's position is clear in prioritizing the resolution of accumulated problems over prolonged political discussions.
