Livre’s spokesman said this Wednesday that the PSD “does not tell the whole truth” about how it views the alliance’s policies and demands clarity because when people go to vote, “they should know.”
“The right, and in particular the PSD, do not tell us the whole truth regarding their view of the politics of the alliance, which is a fundamental thing in any developed society,” Rui Tavares said this Wednesday.
The Livre leader spoke to journalists in Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel, on the sidelines of a meeting with the Association for the Promotion and Protection of the Environment of the Azores, held in the university gardens as part of the campaign for regional legislative elections to be held on Sunday.
According to Rui Tavares, “what is natural is not an absolute majority, but a “politics of alliance.”
“If they tell us one thing in the region, if they tell us something different at the national level and if Luis Montenegro [presidente do PSD] says that “well, there are principles that I admit may differ”, I apologize. The principles of the parties are enshrined in their constitutions and statutes.”
And he continued: “In [princípios] PSD, which I have already read, I even read when Andre Ventura was a PSD candidate in Loures, and anyone who reads the PSD Charter of Principles and remembers what Andre Ventura said then, as a PSD candidate. I understood one thing: “I would not began to stand firmly on his own.”
“These words, these speeches were not based on the principles of the PSD, a party that is our political enemy, but which we respect as an important party in Portuguese democracy. Now, how do these principles change in different countries? regional and national? Where do they think they can take the said for the unspoken? Here or throughout the republic as a whole? And when people go to vote, they should know,” he said.
Rui Tavares recalled that Livre speaks clearly and says, for example, that if there is a majority on the left, it will be “part of the solution,” and if there is a majority on the right, then it will be “part of the solution.” opposition”.
“This clarity is needed, especially from parties that intend to lead a regional or national government. instability because they will never be legitimized solutions,” he noted.
Tavares also noted that we see “an almost constant cannibalization between the right-wing parties, [que] They want to eat each other.”
“It would be extremely doubtful that any government would come out of this decision because it will not last long, because at the moment the Portuguese right, both regionally and nationally, is in a situation of autophagy,” he warned .
He also found it “very intriguing” that the right, both regional and national, “apparently with great calm” said that “they will talk to the far right, which essentially wants to destroy the role and place of the traditional right.” in Portugal and devour him.”
“It’s a little strange to see the apparent satisfaction and calm with which they want to negotiate government agreements with those who only want to destroy them,” he concluded.
According to Livre’s representative, it is “worth” voting for the party in the Azores because a vote or several votes in the regional parliament means “a new way of doing politics through practice rather than through narrative.”
Eleven candidates are vying for the regional legislature of the Azores: PSD/CDS-PP/PPM (the coalition that currently governs the region), ADN, CDU (PCP/PEV), PAN, Alternative 21 (MPT/Aliança), IL, Chega , BE, PS, JPP and Livre.
