Nikolas Ferreira: If Parliamentarians have any doubt about how to vote or how to proceed, bear in mind that not a single, absolutely no, Deputy here in this House who engaged in a rachadinha scheme has been stripped of their mandate.
Nikolas Ferreira: People inside this House were involved in meal-provision schemes with NGOs, and they were not removed from office.
There are people who say whatever they want here in this House, but the Right will never support stripping a Deputy of their mandate because of their words, opinions, or votes.
Nikolas Ferreira: In our democracy, they can say whatever they want, even things we disagree with; but in their democracy, we cannot say what we agree with and what they disagree with.
Nikolas Ferreira: Therefore, this is not merely a vote like the one on some national day.
