Eurico Brillante Diaz, leader of the PS parliamentary group, accused Anibal Cavaca Silva of disrespecting the PS. “No respect for a party that is 50 years old, has thousands of members and has been leading the country in very difficult conditions for almost 8 years with good results,” he wrote on Facebook.
The former President of the Republic spoke at the National Assembly of the SDP when sharply criticized the Socialist Party (PS) and Prime Minister António Costa. “Government is a void,” said Cavaco Silva.
The PS leader took to Facebook to react to the former president’s speech and left a message: “We won’t forget.”
“This is a degradation of politics. After the abusive behavior of the PDP/SDP deputies at the KPI TAR and the chairman of the party seeking to involve the news services in the political-party dispute, today a person with many responsibilities has taken on insulting and anti-democratic language in a clear takeover of the democratic right by extremist radicals who do not hide their hatred of the PS” , said Eurico Brillante Diaz.
