“We want to appeal to everyone who is undecided, especially older people, about the importance of this election, about what is at stake in this election. “I also appeal to the women of our country who know that with socialists their rights are always moving forward,” he said, before attacking the Democratic Alliance (AD).

“Every time we hear a right-wing figure talk about women’s rights or climate change, we get scared. In this election we are defending a legacy. [governativo] but building a future with hope, higher wages, pensions and public services,” he said.

In front of reporters, Pedro Nuno Santos promised that if he forms a government, he will “take advantage of the current economic and financial stability to increase revenue.”

We have important results, we know that there are many things that are wrong, but we also know that the answer is not found in AD solutions,” he added.
