Luis Montenegro says Pedro Nuno Santos was “doubly dishonest” regarding PSD’s understanding with Chega

This Wednesday, the leader of the SDP considered the statements of the new Secretary General of the PS about mutual understanding between the Social Democrats and Chega doubly dishonest, guaranteeing that he would keep his word on this matter.

“If Pedro Nuno Santos is not used to taking serious and consistent positions, that is not my problem. I have already said what I thought and I don’t even need to repeat it and I will keep my word,” Luis Montenegro told reporters in Aveiro.

Pedro Nuno Santos said at the Socialist parliamentary group’s Christmas dinner on Tuesday that former Social Democratic President Pedro Passos Coelho’s statements were aimed at “protecting the understanding between the PSD and Chega” after the March 10 snap elections.

As for the recently elected general secretary of the PS, the former Social Democratic prime minister “simply came to say what the SDP leader wants, but the SDP leader cannot do.”

“A PSD leader who cannot assume what he wants to do and what he wants to do if he is not capable of governing is a PSD leader who also cannot make decisions,” accused Pedro Nuno Santos.

Asked this Wednesday about these statements, Luis Montenegro accused Pedro Nuno Santos of “double dishonesty”, saying that neither Pedro Passos Coelho defended the understanding with Chega, nor his position “is likely to be questioned”.

“I think there are citizens who need answers to have access to housing, and young couples who want access to daycare. There are Portuguese people who want access to medical services. This is what I think is most important. “, emphasized the Social Democratic President.

“The attempt of the so-called Portuguese leftist political forces to try to distort the words of political opponents is an attempt that does not solve anything,” Luis Montenegro also emphasized, assuring that he refuses to contribute to this.
