Boleiro also said that the elections are being held “with maximum organization and calm.”

He told reporters he was not nervous about the electoral vote: “No, I’m not nervous. Obviously, a Democrat knows that anything is possible, and there is always a certain amount of anxiety. But the truth is that I am also calm for people’s decision.”

The leader of the Social Democrats also summed up the results of the election campaign, admitting that he had always sought to avoid “attacking anyone” and, generally speaking, “was civilized.”

José Manuel Bolheiro said he would be with his family and friends in the afternoon, but would still have time to have coffee with Luis Montenegro, the national leader of the PSD, who is in the Azores.
