In a joint statement, they state that the parties “appreciate and welcome the initiative and ideas of the “Manifesto for a Reformist and Moderate Alternative” signed by
more than 100 prominent figures of Portuguese society and released on December 15th.”

They also propose to propose governance based on “integrity, political accountability, respect for the separation of powers and institutions” and “an effective commitment to combating corruption and influence peddling,” as well as policies that protect “freedom, equal opportunity, and the safety of citizens.” and defense of the country” and invests in sustainable development and the values of “Portuguese culture, values, language and communities.”
