The PSD president said on Tuesday he was confident the AD would not need the PS to govern and accused Pedro Nuno Santos of changing his position because he did not have faith in the left’s majority.
“We are really going to achieve a great victory, especially since we will not need the support that now, at the last minute, they want to give us, hoping that we will win the elections, because we will absolutely achieve a majority” Representation in the Assembly of the Republic,” said Luis Montenegro in Largo do Intendente in Lisbon.
The PSD president spoke on a bench to Democratic Alliance (AD) supporters who filled most of the square at the end of a street rally that began near Alameda Afonso Henriques and lasted more than an hour. .
Earlier in Praça do Chile, speaking to journalists, Luis Montenegro said that “there is no one to explain” why the PS secretary general announced on Monday that if AD wins the elections, he will not make or allow proposals to reject the program of a possible government led by the SDP.
“But I will explain, it was for a very simple reason: Dr. Pedro Nuno Santos came to the conclusion that the AD would win the elections, and also came to the conclusion that the PS with BE and the PKP would not have a parliamentary majority equal to the one they had in 2015,” said the SDP president.
“So, since his hands were tied, he wanted to be moderate and, in short, more inclined to be constructive. But he may want to deceive people, but he does not deceive me,” added Luis Montenegro.
