The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, said this Sunday that his son met with the then Minister of Health about the Portuguese-Brazilian twins who were treated in Santa Maria with the most expensive medicine in the world, because he did not achieve it through the Presidency of the Republic.
Without ever mentioning the name of his son Nuno Rebelo de Sousa, the head of state said that he had been following the latest news in which the former Secretary of State for Health Lacerda Sales admits that he met with the son of the President of the Republic about this matter. Gemini.
For Marcelo, the “doubt” that arose about his possible involvement in the case was “very unpleasant”, especially at the time marked by the arrival of Christmas.
“I’ve been following this latest news this week, and I think three things are clear: first, whoever organized, whoever held this meeting, this audience, this conversation, they did it because they didn’t were able to get to where they wanted to go another way, which was through the president and the presidency of the republic, so he decided to try something else because he didn’t get what he wanted,” he said.
In addition to the controversial case involving sisters treated at the Santa Maria Hospital, the President of the Republic also emphasized
the resignation of Prime Minister António Costa as one of the situations that surprised him most this year.
After eight years under António Costa, Marcelo believes that “it is too early not to see [António Costa] exercise political functions” and that whoever takes on the role of prime minister will be completely different.
“I, for example, would like the prime minister to have the opportunity to have a seat in Europe as president of the European Council,” he says.
For the head of state, this would be a way for António Costa to “really do what he does well, what he likes to do and what has allowed him to have great prestige in European terms in these eight years, during which he is perhaps already the first oldest minister in Europe”.
The head of state spoke to reporters, continuing the tradition of going to Barreiro to drink ginjinha.
