The Socialist leader said this Wednesday that the head of the AD list for Europeans should not become a victim after attacks on all opponents, while the Socialist candidate refused to apologize to his opponent and press charges.
Pedro Nuno Santos, who joined the head of the PS list from the Europeans, Marta Temido, during an election rally in Portimão, was asked about Sebastián Bulgaglio’s demand to apologize to the Socialist candidate for calling him immature in the debate on the RTP issue, on Tuesday . It was about Bugalho’s statement that the visit of the President of Ukraine became a “day of celebration” for Portugal.
“I don’t think there’s any reason for that. [para pedir desculpas] and all the Portuguese understood perfectly what we were talking about,” he replied, emphasizing that he was not classifying candidates, but “a maximum of reading.”
For Marta Temido, it is one thing to celebrate the end of a war, it is another to celebrate the visit of the president of a country that is at war, asking for military assistance,” and left a request: “Let’s not turn this into an accident.”
Pedro Nuno Santos also responded to this question, saying that Sebastian Bugallo “is now persecuting himself and attacking the entire election campaign, attacking all candidates and parties.”
“You shouldn’t become a victim of yourself. The arrival of the President of Ukraine is not a party. Period. There are no further questions about this, and it is important that the head of the AD list does not try to persecute himself, because it is not a fact that he is quite happy with this, because in fact, what he systematically did throughout the entire election campaign was attacking his opponents,” he emphasized.
According to the PS leader, the AD candidate “must get used to what political struggle is.”
“And in fact, this is not a party at all, it is the president of an occupied country that is at war, who is looking for support and came to Portugal in this state,” he defended himself.
This morning, at the end of a visit to the Setubal market, Sebastian Bugallo was asked about the moment that marked the debate between the eight candidates for the European Championship on June 9, Tuesday evening on RTP.
During this debate, the head of the European AD list considered that the visit of the Ukrainian President to Portugal was a “day of celebration”, and Marta Temido accused him of “gross immaturity” for this statement.
“I regret that candidate Marta Temido considered it immature when I said that we should celebrate the fact that Zelensky was in Portugal, on the day when the leader of his party said that we should celebrate the victory of Ukraine,” he said . .
And he added: “Since I am sure that Dr. Marta Temido did not mean to call Dr. Pedro Nuno Santos immature, I continue to expect an apology from her,” he said.
