Pedro Nuno Santos believes that there is “little difference” between the “extreme” language of the PSD and Chegi

The new secretary general of the Social Democratic Party said this Monday that “there is little difference” between the language used by the leaders of the PSD and Chegi, and concluded that the right in Portugal is “very extreme”.

On the sidelines of visits to the CP workshops in Guifões, Matosinhos and the Porto district, Pedro Nuno Santos, on the other hand, defended the victory in the legislative elections, which would allow “a stable government decision.”

“To be honest, I have seen the speeches of different right-wing parties, the language that is used is a very extreme language, in fact already very close, little differentiating the language of the leader of the PSD from the language of the leader of Chegi,” he said, when faced with criticism from Luis Montenegro and Andre Ventura.

The party’s electoral program for the March legislative elections will be presented “in the next few minutes”, António Costa’s successor as Socialist leader has said. weeks.”

“The important thing is that the PS achieved a great victory on March 10, which frees Chegu from being a member of any government and allows the country to move forward, which is what we are striving for,” he said.

When asked what he meant by “a great victory for the PS,” the former infrastructure minister explained that it would be a victory that would guarantee the stability of the government.

“This is a victory that allows the PS to lead a stable government, that is what we are going to work for, present our electoral program, discuss it with the Portuguese and try to mobilize the Portuguese people so that we achieve a victory that guarantees the PS enough weight to ensure the stability of the government decision.” , he answered.

For the former housing minister, achieving an absolute majority is not a priority: “I’m not talking about an absolute majority, what really matters is that we run a good campaign and manage to mobilize the Portuguese people to achieve the best result.” , which allow the PS to more clearly implement its election program,” he explained once again.

According to Pedro Nuno Santos, the PS has an advantage in the election race because it has done work: “The right has nothing to present, not only do they have no experience in government, they also have no work to present, They contain only promises and speeches that very little correspond to its ability to realize. Not us, we have something to present,” he emphasized, pointing to the railway as a “paradigmatic example” of the work done.

“We want to maintain the level of debate and talk about the problems of the country, present the work, these are not just speeches, we want to continue to do and do what we have been doing, we don’t want to promise what we have already done.” Having done this, we want to continue to do what we have been doing and have done very important work, and in this case the railway is an example of that,” he said.
