Ana Miguel dos Santos, deputy psd, reaffirms that the PSD "is available" to reach "a consensus" in the approval of a unique proposal on the Statute of the Former Combatant.

However, the member is right to say, the PSD "will strive for this diploma to meet the aspirations and needs of former combatants". Ana Miguel dos Santos argues that this status should be "more ambitious", allowing, for example, that former fighters can enter museums free of charge. On the other hand, the recognition of valuable services provided to the country by former fighters "cannot forget the military family, especially the widows and widowers of the former combatants to whom the sacrifice of their lives was imposed without giving them anything in return." Support for the family of the former military must therefore "be a reality materialized in concrete measures". The diploma, which the PSD presented on Friday, defends the right of preference in social housing for former combatants in homelessness, exemption from moderator fees and registration on the citizen's card of the reference of recognition holder of the nation." Portugal has a debt of gratitude to the former fighters who have been in the service of our country and which has lasted for more than four decades. The former fighters and their families have done a lot for Portugal. We can't let it be time to resolve this matter. It's time to act, because every day that passes, it will always be too late," he said.
