Draft Law No 518 /X/3.
Amendment of the remunerative scheme of the President of the Republic
Exhibition of reasons
Following the comprehensive reform of the remunerative status of officeholders
politicians, operated by the Law No. 52-A/2005 of October 10, introduced a series of
mechanisms designed to regulate the situations of accumulation of due pay
to holders of political office who were already holders of retirement pensions or
retirement. The specificities of the presidential function and the existence of a regime
remunerative of its own for the President of the Republic, that of Law No. 26/84 of July 31,
distinct from the remaining holders of political office, justified the remission for the moment
itself from the adaptation of presidential remunerations to the new regulation.
Unlike what he succeeded in relation to the remaining holders of political office,
subsists the understanding that points to the recognition of the need for
maintenance of the grant awarded to the former holders of the post of President of the
Republic. Such a legislative option derives from the dignity of presidential functions
exerted, either from the maintenance of a permanent bond between the former holders and the
Portuguese Republic, through its capacity as a member of the State Council, and
represents a solution with broad diffusion in politico-constitutional systems
compared. That being the case, it is to adopt the 1984 normative to the general rules on
cumulation of pensions, admitting that possibility, albeit with a distinct regime
of that applicable to the remaining holders of political office.
