The Portuguese are deeply divided as to whether it is mandatory to wear a mask on the street to prevent contagion with the new coronavirus, according to a Eurosondage study in which 55% also say they would not vote if there was a referendum on euthanasia.
In the survey, for Porto Canal and the weekly Sol, 48% of respondents say they agree with the use of a mask, 45% disagree and 7% have doubts or do not know / want to answer.
The use of masks in public spaces has been mandatory since 28 October and non-compliance is punishable by fines of up to 500 euros, according to the law passed in parliament with only Liberal Initiative votes against and abstentions by BE, PCP, PEV and the non-registered deputy Joacine Katar Moreira.
The division that the survey shows was not translated into the vote in the Assembly of the Republic on the 23rd of October, which registered more than two-thirds of favorable deputies, from the benches of the PS, PSD, CDS-PP and PAN.
As for a possible referendum on euthanasia, which failed the parliament on October 23 with the votes against the PS, BE, PCP, PAN, PEV and nine deputies of the PSD (among which the leader Rui Rio), those interviewed by Eurosondagem showed mostly do not want it.
Faced with the question of having a referendum on euthanasia, 55% of respondents answered that they would not vote, against 25%, while 20% said they had doubts or did not know / want to answer.
Regarding the State Budget for 2021, which has a final vote scheduled for the next 26th, 58,5% want it approved, 21% prefer lead and 20,5% have doubts or do not know / wanted to answer.
Regarding the legislatures, the PS appears at the front with 38,3%, followed by the PSD (29,7%), BE (8,3%), CDU (5,8%), Enough (5%), CDS (2,7 , 2,2%), PAN (1%) and Liberal Initiative (XNUMX%).
