Asked once again about his presence throughout the campaign, Andre Ventura said that as party leader he was “responsible” for Chega’s results.
“I feel like I have to support my candidates, be there for them, and I feel like I have to be on the street giving them the people power that they need in this election,” he said, noting that “people love it.” seeing them “both together” because “it shows that there is unity in the party” and that the candidate has support.
Even as part of the European elections, President Chegi used his presence in the Algarve, “the region most affected by the lack of health services,” to express regret that the PS “finds itself ahead” in the polls that have been held. released.
Andre Ventura believed that a visit to the region “will show the failure of Marta Temido’s leadership in the health sector.”
