Pedro Nuno Santos is counting “on António Costa in the electoral campaign” for the legislative elections and on José Luis Carneiro in the future of the PS, according to what he said during a speech given this Saturday at the national headquarters of the Socialists in Lisbon.
The candidate who won the party’s direct election emphasized the prime minister’s “immense pride in his work” and left the floor to his opponents. “Comrades Daniel Adrian and Jose Luis Carneiro were my indirect opponents. We count on them,” he said.
The new secretary-general declared that “the PS was and will be the largest party” in Portugal, and outlined the goals of “saving the National Health Service” and continuing to “reduce the public debt” while at the same time “increasing revenues.” .
Pedro Nuno Santos won the direct elections this Saturday with 62% of the votes against 36% for José Luis Carneiro.
