The Secretary General of the PKP considered that the presence of former Prime Minister Passos Coelho this Monday in the electoral campaign of the Democratic Alliance (AD) symbolizes a return to the past and also expresses the goal of defeating the right, the PS majority and the polls. .
“This is a good example of what I said: I think it’s good that you are participating, at least it will be clear where the SDP, Chega, CDS and the Liberal Initiative want to take us again. At least this is clear,” said Paulo Raimundo. , in statements to journalists on the sidelines of a rally held by the Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU) this Monday afternoon in Alwerk.
The PKP secretary general assured that he is “more confident and more decisive” in the contacts he has made with the people in this campaign for the legislative elections on March 10, and is again putting the poll results into perspective, which show prospects for a worse result. for the 2022 vote.
“There are three things I want to win in this election: a return to the past and the dark days of the troika; a PS that the more powerful it is, the less responsive it is to people’s problems; and the polls. We will also be here to win the elections, and then we’ll see on the evening of the 10th,” he said.
According to the CDU leader, polls have already been wrong in the 2022 legislative elections and in the latest elections in the Azores, indicating “eye to eye” confidence in the growth of the CDU, which won six deputies in the previous elections. for the Assembly of the Republic.

Knowing that the CDU needs workers and people. They will not miss the opportunity to give more CDU deputies,” he insisted, continuing: “The expansion and growth of the CDU is what we see every day.”
Asked about the manifesto calling for a vote in the CDU, signed by 50 former union leaders and published this Monday in the Diário de Notícias newspaper, Paulo Raimundo praised the document and refused to see in this initiative a sign of pessimism about the Communists’ electoral results. elections on March 10.
“It just shows that the CDU is growing every day. This is a sign that some people have been close and others have been far away and are now back. They are once again providing public support for the CDU, and we are very happy about this. honored, even coming from above, coming from those who come: from people with great traditions of struggle, from the trade union movement,” he noted, highlighting the possibility of crossing paths in the campaign with Carvalho da Silva, former leader of the CGTP and one of the subscribers.
“What we have set as our goal is growth. We want to increase the number of votes and will increase it, we want to increase the number of deputies and will increase it. Of course, there are those on our horizon who we were unable to hold elections in 2022,” he added.
