Summary:

  • António José Seguro returns to politics after ten years, now a commentator on CNN Portugal.

  • He is "pondering" a presidential run in 2026, with a decision expected in 2025.

  • Pedro Nuno Santos has mentioned him as a potential candidate, raising public interest.

  • The announcement has caused discontent among supporters of Mário Centeno.

António José Seguro, former leader of the Socialist Party (PS), is making headlines as he returns to the political scene after a decade away. He is set to be a weekly commentator on CNN Portugal in a segment titled Liberdade. Recently, he expressed that he is "pondering" a potential candidacy for the presidency in 2026, influenced by remarks from Pedro Nuno Santos who included him among possible candidates. A final decision is expected in 2025, keeping the political community on edge.

This revelation has stirred public interest, particularly since it has placed Seguro back in the spotlight, although it has also sparked irritation among supporters of Mário Centeno, another prominent figure in the Socialist Party. Secure's return could significantly impact the upcoming elections and the overall political dynamics in Portugal.
