This Thursday, the general secretary of the PKP appealed to all voters who want a “better life” and adhere to the “April values” to vote for the CDU, despite disagreements with the party on some issues.
As hundreds of people watched a speech at the end of a parade in Lisbon’s Chiado, virtually filling Rua do Carmo, Paulo Raimundo stressed the importance of principles on which voters could agree with the communists, in an intervention that was also witnessed by former leaders. Jeronimo de Souza and Carlos Carvalhas.
“They need to recognize that without the CDU there will be no progress, there will be no left politics without more CDU. And knowing that some of them may not agree with us on everything, we also know what unites us – our goals, the fight for a better life and for the sanctification of the values of April – this is much stronger than this or that issue that divides us. The CDU is not enough, the CDU is not enough in their lives,” he shot himself.
During the last passage of the CDU caravan through Lisbon before the official end of the election campaign on Friday evening in Braga, the Communist leader praised the large turnout at a rally in the center of the capital, which was attended by other prominent PCPs. persons, namely Joao Oliveira and Joao Ferreira, who shared the leading role in the electoral campaign for the 2022 legislative elections due to the health problems of Jerónimo de Sousa.
“The people took to the streets,” said Raimundo, continuing: “The truth is that they try to condition and condition, they try to influence and influence, they try to sell the pig in a poke and sell, but in the end it is the people who vote , these are the people who decide. This is the power of trusting people.”
The PCP general secretary also urged people to remember who was involved in the struggle in a variety of areas including the NHS, housing, culture, environment, equality, pay and pensions.
“Those who were there and those who will be there are activists, PKP and PEV activists, as well as thousands of independent members of the CDU,” he emphasized.
“If you choose your life, your rights, the only solution is to give strength to the CDU,” he insisted, not forgetting to note that with the support he said he felt in every street action, “the next step must be taken ” next Sunday: “We need support and votes. We must make contact, clarify the situation and open the door for another vote.”
Paulo Raimundo also believes that there are many options to keep the country on the same path or go back, but only the CDU has the option to move forward.
Paulo Raimundo also heard from Lisbon constituency candidate António Filipe to secure a new “triple” support for the HDZ among voters in the March 10 legislative elections.
“We found three types of voters: some always voted and never regretted it; others have already voted, who remained on the sidelines and contributed to the PS gaining a majority; and there are still others, those who have never voted for the CDU, and this time tell me who will vote,” he concluded.
