The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, warned this Friday in Viana do Castelo that “when power rises in relation to the people, it is not the people that change, but the power.”
“It’s very simple. It is easier to change institutions than institutions change people. It’s so easy,” the head of state warned in Viana do Castelo, at a time marked by a series of divisions within the government and against the backdrop of the dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic in a speech by the opposition and the president himself.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who spoke in Viana do Castelo during the celebration of the second anniversary of the Association of the Impresario do Minho (AEMinho), added that “either the institutions realize that they must change, or the reality will change, no matter what the institutions believe, that this must change.”
“That’s the problem,” he stressed.
